Etymology: Eugnathichthys: Greek, eu = good + Greek, gnathos = jaw + Greek, ichthys = fish (Ref. 45335); virgatus: This species is named virgatus, from the Latin, in reference to the conspicuous midlateral band or streak forming the characteristic pigmentation patterning of the species in life and in preservation (Ref. 94471).

簡短描述
型態特徵 | 形態測量圖
背棘 (總數): 0; 背的軟條 (總數): 15-17; 臀棘 0; 臀鰭軟條: 11 - 12; 脊椎骨: 42 - 43. Diagnosis: Eugnathichthys virgatus is unique among congeners in the possession of body pigmentation dominated by a broad lateral band intersected by numerous vertical bars resulting in a midlateral, checkerboard-like pigmentation patterning both in life and in preservation (Ref. 94471). Internally it is characterized by a marked reduction in dentition on the fifth ceratobranchial elements of the pharynx; externally it differs from congeners in the possession of a reduced total number of pectoral-fin rays, 13-15 vs. 16-18 (Ref. 94471). Eugnathichthys virgatus is further readily distinguished from E. eetveldii by the possession of 66-72 pored lateral line scales from opercle to caudal flexion vs. 96-103; 10-12 scale rows between the lateral line and the dorsal-fin origin vs. 14 or 15; and 8 or 9 scale rows between the lateral line and pelvic-fin insertion vs. 10 (Ref. 94471).It differs from E. macroterolepis in the possession of 8 or 9 scale rows between the lateral line and the pelvic-fin insertion vs. 6 or 7 (Ref. 94471).
This species lives in heavily shaded, highly humic forest rivers (Ref. 94471). Gut morphology and contents suggest that the species feeds exclusively on fish fins (Ref. 94471).
