Abstract: Monophyly of the Neotropical Characidiinae is established based on 13 synapomorphies: (1) dorsal lamina of mesethmoid bone very narrow; (2) mesethmoid bone separated from vomer by a large block of cartilage; (3) anterior and posterior nasal openings widely separated; (4) dorsal portion of infraorbital bone 1 greatly expanded vertically, forming anterior margin of orbit; (5) gap between the dentary and the angulo‐articular; (6) lamellar portion of infraorbital bones 3–6 greatly reduced, especially in the poster… Show more

“…Monophyly of the suborder Citharinoidei and the family Distichodontidae has not been questioned in most phylogenetic treatments of the Characiformes and the Ostariophysi [20,21,32]. However, a recent study focused on characid interrelationships by Oliveira et al [62] recovered Citharinus nested within the Distichodontidae.…”

“…Outgroup choice was informed by previous studies of characiform and ostariophysian relationships [20-22,26-30], all of which strongly support the monophyly of both the Characiformes and the Citharinoidei, as well as a sister-group relationship between citharinoids and a clade containing the remaining members of the order.…”

“…Characiformes are exclusively freshwater fishes distributed in America and Africa, with the greatest diversity in major Neotropical watersheds (Buckup 1998). Characiformes comprises 2,081 valid species grouped in 23 families: Characidae is the largest with 15 subfamilies and 1,086 valid species (Eschmeyer and Fong 2015).…”
