Etymology: Dorosoma: Greek, doris = lance + Greek, soma = body (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Hugh McCormick Smith (1865–1941) was an American physician (1888) who became an ichthyologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Description synthétique
Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 22 - 29. Body moderately deep; belly with 15 to 18 + 9 to 12 scutes. Mouth small. Last dorsal fin ray long, but less the distance from snout tip to pelvic fin base; anal fin relatively short. Scales somewhat small, somewhat irregular. A dark spot behind gill opening. Distinguished from Opisthonema species by its anal fin which is longer than head and well behind dorsal fin base.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Occurs in rivers and perhaps in lakes. A filter-feeder, its feeding and breeding habits presumably similar to other Dorosoma species. More data needed.
