River, Salta, Argentina, was transkrredto the icnnsAstyan& ~ai;d & Girardwithou~ comments by Eigenmann. Based on the study of type specimens and more extensive material, the species is redeseribed. The species Dossesses the combination ofcharacters that are ~urrentlv used to define the nenusIlrveona,nericus Eirenmann. anal and dorsal fins are lonnerin rnalesthan in fcmales. Brvconamericus rnbro~ictus seems to be closelv related to B, thornasi Fowler. Both species mainly share the enlarged anal fm of inales with a strongly convex distal border. Bryconanericus rubropietus dlilbrs from B. thornasi by the presence of 14 scales around caudal ueduncle (vs. 16). more teeth on smaller ~osterior dentam series (6-9 vs. 3-6) and some ma~uhometrie values. A lectotype is designated for T. rubropictus.
