Scientific Summary

GBIF Taxonomic Backbone & Wikipedia Registry Profile

Diagnosis. Corumbataia britskii differs from congeners by having a more depressed head profile (vs. more rounded in C. cuestae and C. tocantinensis) (Fig. 3), by having a more developed and conspicuous tuft of enlarged odontodes on the tip of the supraoccipital (vs. its reduced condition found in C. cuestae and C. tocantinensis) (Fig. 3), and by heaving a partially enclosed arrector fossae (vs. an almost completely enclosed arrector fossae in C. cuestae and C. tocantinensis) (Fig. 4).
Biology & Conservation

Ecologically, the conservation status of Corumbataia britskii is officially designated as Not Evaluated. Current field registries estimate a global population composed of an unquantified number of individuals, making habitat preservation critical to maintaining their wild populations.

It is typically endemic to forest, freshwater, showing great physiological synergy with its surroundings. In terms of dietary preferences, it relies primarily on a diet of diverse organic matter. It exhibits specialized adaptations centered around a its natural cycle activity pattern, optimizing its energy conservation and interactions within its native ecosystem.

Ongoing biological monitoring and ecological advocacy emphasize the importance of protecting this species. The stability of its food chain and the prevention of fragmentation in its primary range are vital for the continued survival of Corumbataia britskii.
