Etymology: Diapoma: Greek, dis, dia = through + Greek, poma = cover (Ref. 45335);  pyrrhopteryx: The specific name is from the Greek words 'pyrrho' (red) and 'pteryx' (fin) in reference to the red fin colors of the fish when alive..

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10. Very similar to Diapoma speculiferum, both species sharing the posterior elongation of opercle and subopercle. Differs from this species in having red fins in live males (vs. pale to yellowish fins in live males), longer snout, 21.3-24.5% of head length (vs. 17-21.4% in head length), and pentacuspid maxillary teeth (vs. tricuspid) (Ref. 86734).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01905 (0.00769 - 0.04720), b=2.97 (2.75 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
