The known Area of Occupancy (AOO) for T. beagle is 8 km ². The two known localities where the species is found are experiencing severe anthropogenic degradation from mining, deforestation for cattle pasture, road construction, and small-scale damming (more severely so in the Ribeirão Barreiras locality). Efforts to locate specimens in other regional localities were unsuccessful so far. Given the restricted area of occupancy and the ongoing or inferred habitat decline, T. beagle can be provisionally classified as Endangered (EN) according to IUCN criteria B2ab(iii) (IUCN Standards and Petitions Subcommittee, 2022). As a relictual species belonging to a phylogenetically basal lineage ( Trichogenes), its conservation has a higher priority (Stianssny &amp; de Pinna, 1994). The previous, practically non-existing, record of T. beagle in fish collections, along with a lack of Trichogenes representatives anywhere else in the relatively well-sampled Rio Doce basin, suggest that T. beagle might be a relictual species, currently clinging to its last encroached strongholds. Further studies on the species distribution and ecology are urgently needed and conservation efforts should focus on immediate protection of currently known populations and associated remnant natural forest patches.</p><p>Material examined</p><p>Trichogenes beagle</p><p>MZUSP 125019 (holotype), 35.5 mm SL, no data; MZUSP 124888 (paratypes), 2, 32.7–37.9 mm SL, 1 (c&amp;s) 37.9 mm SL, supposedly collected with holotype.
