“…However, in those species, the pigmentation is concentrated on the distal border of the scales, thereby forming a dark reticulate pattern on the body. Benine (2002) states that M. nigromarginata also has a reticulate pattern, but Costa (1994) did not consider the species as demonstrating this feature. Examination of type specimens of M. nigromarginata similarly failed to confirm Benine's (2002) observation.…”

“…Moenkhausia cotinho, which was nested within the M. oligolepis/M. sanctaefilomenae group by Benine (2002), also has blotches at the bases of the scales, but differs from M. chlorophthalma, M. plumbea, and M. petymbuaba by having small dark patches on the third and fourth longitudinal series above the lateral line, and having a reticulate pattern on the scales below the lateral line series. Benine (2002) proposed the presence of laminar expansions of the ectopterygoid and the palatine as derived…”

Two new species of Moenkhausia Eigenmann (Characiformes: Characidae) from Serra do Cachimbo, Pará, Northern Brazil

Two new species of Moenkhausia, one from the rio Tapajós and the other from the rio Xingu basins are described as apparently endemics of the Serra do Cachimbo. Both species, along with M. petymbuaba, share a distinct color pattern composed of large conspicuous dark blotches on the base of the body scales. Moenkhausia chlorophthalma, from rio Treze de Maio, a tributary to rio Curuá (rio Xingu basin), is distinguished by the presence of a proximal well delimited black area on the adipose fin and a green eye in life. Moenkhausia plumbea of the headwaters of tributaries of the rio Braço Norte, rio Tapajós basin is diagnosed by the presence of a dark longitudinal stripe across the eye and six branched pelvic-fin rays (vs. seven). Relationships of the new species with other Moenkhausia are discussed.Duas espécies novas de Moenkhausia, uma da bacia do rio Tapajós e outra da bacia do rio Xingu, são descritas como aparentemente endêmicas da Serra do Cachimbo. Ambas, juntamente com M. petymbuaba, compartilham um padrão de colorido exclusivo de grandes manchas escuras conspícuas na base das escamas do corpo. Moenkhausia chlorophthalma, do rio Treze de Maio, um afluente do rio Curuá (bacia do rio Xingu), é facilmente reconhecida pela presença de uma área preta bem delimitada na região anterior da nadadeira adiposa e possuir olhos verdes em vida. Moenkhausia plumbea ocorre nas cabeceiras dos afluentes do rio Braço Norte, bacia do rio Tapajós, e pode ser diagnosticada pela presença de uma faixa longitudinal escura no olho e seis raios ramificados na nadadeira pélvica (vs. sete). As relações entre as novas espécies com as demais Moenkhausia são discutidas.

“…The genus Moenkhausia Eigenmann currently comprises over seventy valid species (Bertaco et al, 2011a(Bertaco et al, , 2011bMariguela et al, 2013) presenting a wide variation in overall shape and pigmentation patterns (Benine et al, 2004), many of which have been described recently (e.g., Benine et al, 2009;Zanata et al, 2009;Marinho, 2010;Marinho & Langeani, 2010;Sousa et al, 2010;Bertaco et al, 2011aBertaco et al, , 2011b. The genus is widely distributed in South America, being present in coastal drainages of the Guyanas, as well as in the río Orinoco, rio Amazonas, rio Tocantins and Araguaia, rio São Francisco, rio Paraná-Paraguay, and Brazilian eastern drainages (Lima et al, 2003).…”

Moenkhausia rubra, a new species from rio Juruena, upper rio Tapajós basin, Brazil (Characiformes: Characidae)

Moenkhausia rubra, new species, is described from the upper rio Juruena, rio Tapajós basin, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The new species is distinguished from its congeners, except M. hemigrammoides and M. nigromarginata, by the dark pigmentation on the anteriormost rays of both dorsal and anal fins. Moenkhausia rubra is distinguished from the aforementioned species by the number of branched anal-fin rays 17-20 (vs. 20-25), presence of a dark blotch on the caudal peduncle extending to middle caudal-fin rays, absence of longitudinal black zigzag stripes between longitudinal rows of scales on body, and other details of coloration.Moenkhausia rubra, espécie nova, é descrita do alto rio Juruena, bacia do rio Tapajós, Mato Grosso, Brasil. A espécie nova diferencia-se de todos os congêneres, exceto M. hemigrammoides e M. nigromarginata, pela presença de pigmentação escura nos raios mais anteriores das nadadeiras dorsal e anal. Moenkhausia rubra distingui-se das espécies acima mencionadas pelo número de raios ramificados na nadadeira anal 17-20 (vs. 20-25), presença de uma mancha escura no pedúnculo caudal se estendendo até os raios medianos da nadadeira caudal, ausência de faixas em zigue-zague longitudinais entre as séries longitudinais de escamas no corpo, além de outros detalhes de coloração.

“…In his description Eigenmann (1903: 145) defined the genus simply as "similar to Markiana" with "anal naked" and "caudal scaled". Subsequently, some species originally described in other genera were transferred into Moenkhausia (Eigenmann 1910, Eigenmann 1917, and since then, many new species have been described (e.g., Travassos 1964, Fink 1979, Lucena and Lucena 1999, Benine 2002, Benine et al 2007, Benine et al 2009, Marinho 2010, Petrolli et al 2016. At this time, more than 80 valid species (Eschmeyer et al 2016) are recognized.…”

A new species of the genus Moenkhausia is described from the Içá River, Amazon Basin. Moenkhausia britskii sp. n. is most similar to M. grandisquamis and M. xinguensis. From these two species it is readily distinguished by the pigmentation pattern of the humeral spot. Moenkhausia britskii further differs from M. xinguensis by the pattern of radii on the scales, which curve upward and downward (vs. scales with straight radii). Discussions on the putative relationship of the new species with M. grandisquamis and M. xinguensis, and on the peculiar upward and downward arched scale radii are provided.
