Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 2; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 6 - 7; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 15; Vértebras: 42 - 44. Diagnosis: Ancharius griseus is distinguished from A. fuscus in having a longer dorsal-fin spine, 22.9-24.3% of standard length vs. 14.6-22.6%; longer snout, 49.2-51.3% of head length vs. 40.1-45.8%; smaller eye, 9.3-10.1% of head length vs. 11.4-15.4%; and pectoral spine serrated posteriorly along only its distal half vs. entire length (Ref. 56142).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
The river at the type locality runs through grassland/savannah and the habitat can be characterized as mildly disturbed; the water is clear, deep, and swift flowing, with area of calmer water, and the substrate mostly sandy to rocky (Ref. 56142).
