Of Eremophilus Thrichomycterus Humboldt, 1805 Trachypoma Giebel, 1871 Of E. mutisii Trachypoma marmoratum Giebel, 1871 Trichomycterus venulosus Steindachner, 1915 [2] Eremophilus mutisii is a species of catfish (order Siluriformes) of the family Trichomycteridae, and the only member of its genus.

It has probably been introduced to Ubaté, Chiquinquirá, and Tundama valleys, Colombia.

[4][5] E. mutisii uses the vascularized central portion of its stomach for aerial respiration.

Air-breathing occurs in hypoxic and normoxic water, but is not obligatory.

The evolution of a reduced swimbladder is associated with a benthic mode of life in E.
