Diagnosis. Hisonotus taimensis differs from its congeners, except from H. notopagos and H. laevior by the higher number of lateral plates 26-29 ( Table 2), vs. 20-25, by the number of predorsal plates 3-4 (usually 4), vs. 2-3, and by vertebral count 31-32, vs. 25-29 vertebrae. Hisonotus taimensis differs from H. notopagos by the presence of a posterior notch articulation in the rostral plate, vs. absence of a notch articulation in the rostral plate, by having a round caudal peduncle in cross section, vs. a slightly square caudal peduncle in cross section, and by having the area anterior to nares unplated, vs. area anterior to nares covered by dermal plates. Hisonotus taimensis can be distinguished from H. laevior by the narrow cleithral width 18.5-21.3% SL, mean 20.0%, vs. 20.6-24.6% SL, mean 22.9% ( Fig. 15), and by the lower body depth at dorsalfin origin 13.3-16.3% SL, mean 15.1%, vs. 16.2-20.8% SL, mean 18.1% ( Fig. 16).

Description. Morphometrics and meristics in Table 4. This species was described by Buckup (1981) and will not be redescribed here.

Distribution and habitat. Hisonotus taimensis is known from localities nearby the laguna Mirim ( Fig. 22). This species inhabits, at type locality, slow flowing watercourses with brown waters of muddy and sandy bottom. The individuals are found in between aquatic vegetation of the genus Eichhornia , in grasses or similar kind of submersed vegetation. According to Buckup (1981) the enlarged rostral and pelvic-fin odontodes contribute to them cling the stems and roots of Eichhornia . See Grosser et al. (1994) for detailed description of the species habitat and distribution in the Taim region.
