T. albicrux is
a demersal (living at or near the bottom of the water body) species.
Species of the genus are adaptable to different freshwater habitats,
including ponds, ditches, burrow pits along roads and dammed areas.
This species is known from the Rio de la Plata, but it is not clear
whether it occurs only in the estuary, or in the La Plata River
basin which drains into the estuary in Argentina. |
