Etymology: Mazarunia: Taken from river Mazaruni; local habitat of this fish (Ref. 45335); charadrica: The specific name is derived from the Greek charadra, a mountain stream or a torrent. This is in reference to its apparent preference for reophilous habitats; the species is often found in the steep tributaries of the Mazaruni River that flow from the slopes of the Roraima massif and other mountainous sources in the area. To be regarded as an adjective in feminine form..

Morfologie | Morfometrie
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 15 - 17; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 8; Anale stekels 3; Anale zachte stralen: 7 - 8; Wervels: 26. Distinguished from all congeners, among other characters, by approximately equal uncinate process and anterior arm and reduced anteroventral expansion of epibranchial 1 (vs. uncinate process narrower and complete anteroventral expansion in the other two species), a dorso-ventrally flattened maxillary process of the palatine (vs. cylindrical in the other two species), cycloid (vs. ctenoid) scales in the opercular, postorbital, lateral chest and anal-genital regions, the absence of a mid-lateral spot, and a diffuse dark area covering the dorsal portion of the head giving the impression of a 'black cap'. Possessess a unique juvenile pattern of seven vertical dark bars partially preserved in adults. Bars 3-6 in antero-caudal direction are most visible in juveniles and medium-sized specimens but become fainter and almost disappear in adults. Many specimens show only bar number 3 (midlateral bar) (Ref. 91746).
Abundant in the entire upper Mazaruni River basin, and especially in tributaries with rocky substrates and rich in rapids. Collected from black water sites with fairly high transparency (0.55-1.0 m Secchi depth), none to relatively fast currents (0-0.6 m/s), temperature (21.7- 24.5°C), pH (4.4-4.8), dissolved oxygen (5.2- 9.3 mg/L) and very low conductivity (<10 µS). Ref. 91746).
