Issue
Not the same as Sicydium bustamantei Greef, 1884 (Ref. 59830), which is synonym of Lentipes bustamantaei Boulenger 1916. See taxonomic and nomenclatural details in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. Oct. 2012: Ref. 92135), issues that remain to be fixed.

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 19.3 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 81676)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Diagnosis: posterior tip of upper jaw usually not extending beyond vertical through mideye; fewer than 50 teeth in single row in upper jaw on each side, separated by median tubercle; upper lip smooth; usually 3 pores in preopercular canal; flanks with chess-board arrangement of small, light and dark patches (Ref. 57403).

Amphidromous freshwater species (Ref. 92840). The maximum size is 193 mm SL and 242 mm TL observed, but perhaps it can reach 264 mm TL (Ref. 81676).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00912 (0.00307 - 0.02706), b=2.95 (2.71 - 3.19), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 2.3 ±0.1 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (37 of 100) .
