Elongated body; terminal mouth; inner row of premaxilla with 4 teeth, outer row with 5 teeth; dentary with 9 or 10 teeth, and maxilla with 2 teeth. Lateral line with 36–38 pored scales; transversal series above lateral line with 4 rows and below with 3. Dorsal fin with 11 or 12, pecto- ral fin with 14 or 15, pelvic fin 9, anal fin with 20–22, and caudal with 19, total rays. Ground color silvery to yellowish; silvery longitudinal band (dark in preserved specimens), from humeral spot to caudal peduncle; black oval, vertically elongated, humeral spot. Caudal fin yel- lowish to orange; remaining fins hyaline, with dusky border
P. stramineus
is very similar to
Bryconamericus exodon
Eigenmann, 1907
, except for its caudal-fin margin that is hyaline versus dark margin in the latter.
Piabarchus
was described by presenting a long anal fin and its origin opposite to/or slightly in front of the dorsalfin origin. Recently,
Thomaz et al. (2015)
described the molecular phylogeny of the
Stevardiinae
and allocated
Bryconamericus stramineus
in
Piabarchus
. Therefore,
P. stramineus
can be distinguished from
P. analis
(
Eigenmann, 1914
)
and from
P. torrenticola
Mahnert & Géry, 1988
by the origin of its anal fin being behind the dorsalfin origin.
