Diagnosis: Eight nucleotides in COI: A(25), C(29), C(50), C (86), C(140), A(230), A(338), and C(545). Ventral outline of head ovoid, widest anterior to branchial opening (Fig. 2b) and lateral-line pores 112–146 (versus U-shaped, Fig. 2a, 88–101 in E. electricus). Distinguished by skull depressed, cleithrum lies between vertebrae 5 and 6; and head wide (versus skull deep, cleithrum lies between vertebrae 1 and 2, Fig. 2b, and head narrow in E. varii), and distance between medial margins of contralateral dentaries at transverse through last two ventral pores 2–3 times longer in E. voltai than in E. varii, Fig. 2b, c. Description: As for E. electricus, except as noted in Diagnosis. Species illustrated in Figs. 2, 3, and 7. Maximum size examined specimens 1711 mm TL. Morphometric and meristic data in Supplementary Data 2. Low-voltage EOD duration 1.72 ms, (Fig. 4d), high-voltage EOD 860 V at 1219 mm TL (Fig. 4d), n = 1. For distribution see Fig. 1a; Supplementary Data 1. ; Published as part of de Santana, C. David, Crampton, William G.
