Etymology: Nematolebias: Greek, nema, -atos = filament + Greek, lebias, ou = a kind of small fish (Ref. 45335);  catimbau: The specific name originated in the Tupi-Guarani lagunage. It is used in reference to the occurrence of the species in the floddplains of the Catimbau river..

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 13-18; Anal soft rays: 20 - 24; Vertebrae: 31 - 32. This species is similar to Nematolebias papilliferus and distinguished from N. whitei by having long narrow golden lines on the distal portion of the dorsal fin in males (vs. dots). It differs from N. papilliferus by its distinct row of small iridescent spots on the distal margin of the caudal fin in males (vs. row absent); and from both N. papilliferus and N. whitei by its pelvic-fin bases medially separated by a small interspace (vs. in contact) (Ref. 95536).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Always occurs in shallow temporary pools, about 30-50 cm deep, formed during the rainy season, usually between March and May, and between October and December. These pools were in open vegetation area (Ref. 95536)

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00396 - 0.02008), b=3.14 (2.94 - 3.34), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.4 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).
