Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 2.3 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188)
Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 14-16; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 17 - 19; Vertebre: 38 - 39. Diagnosis: Body slender or moderate, depth about 25% of standard length; scutes a little behind isthmus, very strongly keeled, 9-10 pre-pelvic and 7-9 post-pelvic scutes; lower jaw very slightly projecting, toothless; no teeth on premaxillae or maxillae; posterior supra-maxilla as deep as maxilla blade and with long slender anterior shaft; lower gillrakers 20-23; pelvic fin with 1 unbranched and 6-7 branched rays, its insertion just below dorsal fin origin; anal fin rays 17-19; scales in lateral series 34-35 (Ref. 188, 94752). It differs from Nannothrissa parva in having fewer gillrakers, 20-23 vs. 24-31, fewer anal fin rays, 17-19 vs. 20-23, and fewer scales in lateral series, 34-35 vs. 35-40 (Ref. 188, 94752).
A lacustrine species in acid waters (Ref. 188).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.

50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00433 - 0.01920), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
