диагноз |
The species is closely related to Metynnis hypsauchen (Müller & Troschel, 1844) according to 1. high number of gill-rakers, 2. long adipose fin, 3. deep body, 4. short head and 5. long occipitale and is clearly defined because of 1. the high number of serrae (36-37 vs. 27-32 of M. hypsauchen), 2. the small scales (91-93 vs. about 75-83), 3. uniformly silver colouration and 4. the extremely elongated dorsal fin and anal fin (Ref. 79633). |
