Taxonomy
Acari
EOL Text
Mites eat many different kinds of foods. Some species suck juice from plants, some eat fungi, some eat other small animals. Some are filter-feeders, feeding on protists and other cells growing in liquid. A few species are parasites, feeding on the bodies or blood of larger animals. Every group of animal has mite parasites except fish.

Oyapock, Mana, Maroni, Suriname, Corantijn and Essequibo River basins: French Guiana, Guyana and Suriname.
This species can be distinguished from all congeners by having 2 unique characters: skin fold just posterior to each emergent tooth series of dentary formed by a single enlarged, flattened papilla; and the midline of lower lip immediately behind the dentaries with small patch of distinct papillae arranged in a short median bump (vs. papillae not projected in a bump). It can be further differentiated from other congeners except of Pareiorhaphis proskynitaby its caudal peduncle depth 6.7-7.8% SL (vs. 7.8-14.0% SL). It differs from other congeners except P. bahianus, P. cerosus, P. eurycephalus, P. nudulus, P. parmula, P. steindachneri, and P. vestigipinnis by having 20-38 dentary teeth (vs. 42-120). The usual absence of the first dorsal-fin spinelet (vs. absence) separates this species from P. bahianus, P. cerosus, P. eurycephalus, P. parmula, and P. steindachneri. It further differs from P. nudulus and P. vestigipinnis by the presence of an adipose fin (vs. adipose fin absent) and having caudal peduncle width 4.1-5.3 % SL (vs. 5.5-8.7% SL) (Ref. 95497).Description: Anal fin i,5; Pelvic-fin i,5; dorsal-fin spine moderately flexible, followed by seven branched rays; dorsal-fin locking mechanism not functional (Ref. 95497).
