Etymology: bortayro: Named for Gonzalo Padilla Bortayro, who first collected material of this species and brought it to the attention of the authors.
Eponymy: Dr Silvina Adela Menu-Marque is an Argentinean zoologist at the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Buenos Aires, where her doctorate was awarded (2002). [...] Gonzalo Padilla Bortayro is an Argentine biologist who is responsible for biodiversity monitoring of the activities of Minera Alumbera, a mining group for which he works, in the Catamarca region.

Breve descrizione
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 10. Differs from other species of the subfamily Trichomycterinae by the extreme elongation of the opercle and narrow odontode-bearing distal plate. Further differs by having elongated and curved coronoid process of the lower jaw. The lack of pelvic fin and girdle further differs this species from all other Trichomycterinae except Eremophilus mutisii, E. candidus and Trichomycterus catamarcensis, species that are readily distinguished from Silvinichthys bortayro by their coloration pattern. The pale integumentary pigmentation and reduction of the eyes are troglomorphic characters that are paralleled only in cave-dwelling species Trichomycterus itacarambiensis and T. chaberti among presently known trichomycterines. Can be easily distinguished from those two species by its proportionally much shorter body and fewer pectoral-fin rays (6 vs 7 and 10, respectively). Further differs except Silvinichthys mendozensis by the absece of a latero-sensory canal branch in the frontal and sphenotic; and also differs from S. mendozensis in having 6 versus 7 or 8 pectoral-fin rays and the absence versus presence of the pelvic fin and girdle (Ref. 55738).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
