Tab. 4 in Systematic assessment of the Leporinus desmotes species complex, with a description of two new species

Tab. 4. Meristic counts of Leporinus desmotes and L. jatuncochi summarized as ranges followed by the mean ± 1 standard deviation in parentheses. Single values in a cell indicate invariant counts among the examined specimens for a given species. *Represents data gathered from Ovchynnyk (1971).
