Remarks.

L. guarani was found on rocky seepages and also on marginal rocks of first order streams, from 1570-2700 m a.s.l., extending the altitudinal range of the species. Environmental characterization: Water temperature 16.3-22 °C; dissolved oxygen 6.4-8.4 mg.l-1; pH 5.5-6.4; slow to fast flowing; vegetal coverage completely absent (shrub-herbaceous vegetation). The species was found in APASM (Minas Gerais State), extending the geographical records to northernmost. Median altitudinal specificity (IndVal: 0.19; p = 0.18).
