Etymology: Austrolebias: Composed from Austro = the south + see under Lebias; wichi: Named for the Wichi indigenous people who inhabited in several settlements very close to the type locality (Ref. 128060).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range

Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Known only from its type locality, a seasonal paleochannel from the Bermejo River basin (Parana River basin). The habitat is highly impacted by human activities since it is surrounded by mostly soybean plantations. Also, presence of domestic cattle in this area is evident which alters the pond bottom structure (Ref. 128060).
