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

Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 4.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 93039)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 2; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 6 - 7; Épines anales: 1; Rayons mous anaux: 5; Vertèbres: 28. Can be diagnosed from its congeners by having shorter pectoral-fin spine length (18.6-21.3 vs. 21.4-30.4% SL in remaining species). Additional characters useful for its identification include lower caudal peduncle (7.6-9.0 vs. 9.3-11.0 in Otothyropsis marapoama and 9.7-11.5% SL in Otothyropsis piribebuy), deeper caudal peduncle (7.6-9.0 vs. 6.2-7.6% SL in Otothyropsis polyodon); and dorsal-fin spinelet triangular in shape (vs. spinelet rectangular or quadrangular) (Ref. 93039).
Commensal with midge larvae (Chironomidae) which are attached to the gill opening or more rarely to the posterior process of the cleithrum (Ref. 93039).
