Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 14-17; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 13 - 19. A species of Nothobranchius of relatively large size (Ref. 83514). Snout rounded, mouth subterminal, directed upward; dorsal profile slightly concave on head, concave from nape to end of dorsal fin; caudal peduncle profile straight at upper and lower sides (Ref. 83514). Supra-orbital squamation variable, but G-type in most specimens; anterior part of supra-orbital squamation partly covered with epidermal tissue (Ref. 83514). Central supra-orbital neuromast system in two distinct, shallow grooves, both lined with three shallow lobes on both sides; posterior cephalic neuromast system in two curved pits (Ref. 83514).

Annual species; found in water-filled depressions on the floodplain of rivers and creeks or remnant pools of seasonal creeks; water in all pools turbid; during dry season, pools mostly dry up; usually no aquatic vegetation, but with grasses only at the margins of the water bodies; if aquatic vegetation is present, it may include Nymphea, Ottelia, Lagarosiphon, and Utricularia species; no associated fish species were observed (Ref. 83514).
