A: Distal part of maxillary barbel (340x); B: Enlargement (l,500x) of taste buds and epidermal papillae; C: Enlargement of part of A (): D: Taste bud and epidermal papillae at the base of the submaxillary barbel (l,500x). However, higher magnification (over 5,000x) shows many microscopical papillae covering the cellular surface. Trichomycterus areolatus has a short main lateral line on the body

However, higher magnification (over 5,000x) shows many microscopical papillae covering the cellular surface. Trichomycterus areolatus has a short main lateral line on the body () like in other species of Trichomycterus (Arratia & Menu Marque 1984). The main lateral line of the body opens to the skin surface by small, round pores: the lateral line ends just posterior to the posttemporo-supracleithrum. The skin surrounding the last pore is irregularly papil- late; taste buds were not found in this region. The surface of the body epidermal papillae is covered by round microprojections or micropapillae and a net of irregularly distributed.
