Comments: Type locality of Allomogurnda multicincta, East Sepik Province, about 17 km east of Maprik Village on Wewak-Lumi Road, Malas Creek. Known only from East Sepik Province, where it was collected in a small tributary (Malas Creek) of the Amuk River (tributary of the Screw River, one of the major northern tributaries of the Middle Sepik River drainage), located about 17 km east of Maprik Village via the Wewak-Lumi Road. The type locality is located at the edge of the foothills of the Prince Alexander Mountains, elevation of about 150 m above sea level and lies approximately 455 km upstream from the Pacific Ocean (Ref. 116997).

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 8 - 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-12; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9 - 11; Vertebrae: 30 - 32. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D VII-VIII+I,10-12; A I,9-11; pectoral-fin rays 13-15, scales in longitudinal series 35-41; predorsal scales 15-18; no head pores; cycloid predorsal scales, increasing in size anteriorly, reaching forward to above posterior half of eye, the anteriormost 1-3 scales with reverse scale orientation featuring exposed anterior margin; dorsalmost two-thirds of operculum covered with large cycloid scales, in 4-5 rows; naked cheek or with few embedded cycloid scales posterior to eye; the gill opening extends anteroventrally to almost reach the posterior preopercular margin; colour pattern with stripes on lower and middle cheek, short oblique band posterior to dorsoposterior corner of eye, and series of 10-14 vertical brown bars (Ref. 116997).

Occurs in a narrow rainforest creek with slow-flowing sections interrupted by occasional rapids where the fish congregated among branches of submerged logs. The stream has a typical assemblage of small-stream dwelling fishes including Tandanus gjellerupi, Chilatherina fasciata, Melanotaenia affinis, Glossamia gjellerupi, Hephaestus transmontanus, Mogurnda aurofodinae, and Oxyeleotris fimbriata. In 2007, a collection done at the same site by P. Unmack yielded two additional species including Glossogobius torrentis and introduced tilapia Oreochromis mossambica (Ref. 116997).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00260 - 0.01111), b=3.09 (2.90 - 3.28), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
