The new species shares two of three synapomorphies that define node 200 of Mirande (2010), which included the Astyanax clade and Astyanax paris clade as well as the Aphyocharacinae, Aphyoditeinae, Cheirodontinae, Gymnocharacinae, Stevardiinae, and Bryconamericus scleroparius clade: fourth infraorbital approximately square or more developed longitudinally than dorsoventrally, and coronomeckelian situated mainly dorsal to Meckel cartilage.…”
