Notes

Identification to species level follows Armbruster (2003b) and Armbruster and de Souza (2005) based on the following characters: dentaries forming angle of <80°; spoon-shaped teeth (although not fully formed in this small specimen); widely-spaced large black spots on a light background; and a lack of longitudinal dark stripes.

One individual was caught by hand from woody substrates at the margin of the main river (sampling site NH08). An example of a live specimen is pictured in Fig. 19.
