Comments

Currently known from three coastal river drainages in southeastern Brazil; the rio Mucuri, rio São Mateus, and rio Doce. Usually found in stretches of river with mid to strong water current and rocky or sandy bottom. However, some specimens were collected in the lago Juparanã, close to the mouth of rio Doce, a lentic habitat (Ref. 43112). Also Ref. 36817.
