Trichomycterus balios is a species of pencil catfish endemic to Brazil, where it occurs in the upper portion of the Das Antas and Caí river basins ( Laguna dos Patos system), and the Mampituba river basin, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. This species reaches a maximum length of 10.1 centimetres (4.0 in) SL. [1]
The specific name balios is derived from the Greek adjective βαλιός, meaning spotted, dappled, and refers to the color pattern of the species formed by circular black blotches. [1]
The localities where the type specimens were collected had clear water and rocky bottoms. [1]
T. balios feeds on larvae of Diptera ( Chironomidae, Simuliidae), Lepidoptera, and Trichoptera and nymphs of Ephemeroptera and Plecoptera. [1]
