Holotype: MPEG 15529 View Materials , 1290 View Materials mm TL; Ipitinga River , Almerim, Pará, Brazil.
Paratypes: ANSP 197583 View Materials (4) , INPA 50453 View Materials (8) View Materials ; MPEG 24793 View Materials , MPEG 30365-71 View Materials ; MZUSP 116410 View Materials (2) ; MZUSP 116421 View Materials (5).
Etymology: In honor of Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta (1745–1827).
Diagnosis: Eight nucleotides in COI: A(25), C(29), C(50), C (86), C(140), A(230), A(338), and C(545). Ventral outline of head ovoid, widest anterior to branchial opening ( Fig. 2b View Fig ) and lateral-line pores 112–146 (versus U-shaped, Fig. 2a View Fig , 88–101 in E. electricus ). Distinguished by skull depressed, cleithrum lies between vertebrae 5 and 6; and head wide (versus skull deep, cleithrum lies between vertebrae 1 and 2, Fig. 2b View Fig , and head narrow in E. varii ), and distance between medial margins of contralateral dentaries at transverse through last two ventral pores 2–3 times longer in E. voltai than in E. varii , Fig. 2b, c View Fig .
Description: As for E. electricus , except as noted in Diagnosis. Species illustrated in Figs. 2 View Fig , 3 View Fig , and 7.
Maximum size examined specimens 1711 mm TL. Morphometric and meristic data in Supplementary Data 2. Low-voltage EOD duration 1.72 ms, ( Fig. 4d View Fig ), high-voltage EOD 860 V at 1219 mm TL ( Fig. 4d View Fig ), n = 1. For distribution see Fig. 1a View Fig ; Supplementary Data 1.
