Teleostei (teleosts) > Cypriniformes (Carps) > Nemacheilidae (Brook loaches)
Etymology: lucidorsum: Derived from the Latin words lux (light), and dorsum (back), meaning ‘with a light back’, referring to the absence of pigmentation along the dorsal midline. A noun in apposition.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Freshwater; demersal; pH range: 6.5 - ?. Tropical; 24°C - ? (Ref. 87201)

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 11 - 12; Anal soft rays: 8. Can be diagnosed from other species, except its only congener Pteronemacheilus meridionalis by having elongated skinfolds on the dorsal side of the second and third branched pectoral-fin rays in males. Differs from Pteronemacheilus meridionalis by having the dorsal midline without pigmentation (vs. bars or saddles across dorsal midline) and usually 8 + 8 branched caudal-fin rays (vs. 9 + 8) (Ref. 87201).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in a fast flowing stream about 4-10 m wide and 0.5 m deep during late dry season. The stream has substrate consisting mainly of stones up to 60 cm diameter (Ref. 87201).
