is distinguished from all congeners by the following unique combination of characters: round or trapezoidal black humeral spot, dorsal to the lateral line; a branch of the infraorbital sensory canal directed ventrally, continued as a series of pores totally or partially traversing the third infraorbital; body relatively slender (31.8-37.4 % SL); eye large (41.1-45.8 % HL); snout short (15.5-20.9 % HL); caudal peduncle relatively slender (10.3-12.0 % SL); one pentacuspid maxillary tooth; 38-42 perforated scales in lateral line; and v -vi, 23-29 anal-fin rays. In addition, the species is characterized by the presence, in males, of breeding tubercles on the head and scales, and bony hooks on all fins.

Remarks: Of all the families of Neotropical Characiformes, only the Characidae, Parodontidae and Lebiasinidae are known to develop true nuptial tubercles (Wiley &amp; Collette, 1970:164-167; Collette, 1977: 236-241). Those authors state that breeding tubercles are probably present in all species of Parodontidae and at least five species of Lebiasinidae. Within the Characidae, similar structures have been reported in
