292 FISHES OF WESTERN SOUTH AMERICA 
Very similar to the Guiana specimens of C. alburna; lacks about one in all 
scale and finray counts; faint indication of black on base of the caudal fin, which 
may indicate identity with Pellegrin’s subspecies caudimaculata. Fowler says in 
his Contamana specimens the ventrals do reach and pass the vent.
