Diagnosis

Distinguished from known Bryconamericus species by: soft, flexible lips that completely cover the external row of teeth of the premaxilla when the mouth closed; a long and wide fontanel (principally in the middle and posterior part); and by the insertion of the first four pterygiophores in front of the anal fin on the haemal spine of the third caudal vertebra (Ref. 49955).
