They can be distinguished from its congeners from the Paraná River in Misiones (with the exception of Leporinus octofasciatus) by the presence of dark brown bars across the body flank. It can be distinguished from L. octofasciatus by having 10 dark-brown vertical bars encircling the body in adults and at least one of these bars X or Y-shaped (vs. 8 vertical bars not encircling the body); the bright yellow color pattern of the body and fins (vs. reddish coloration); and for possessing 9 branched pelvic fin rays (vs. 8 rays).	en	Benítez, Mauricio F., Cerutti, Juan C., Donato, Erico M., Aichino, Danilo R.
