Etymology: Astyanax: The name of Astyanax, Hector´s son in the Greek mythology (Ref. 45335); salvatoris: Named for the late Dr. Salvador Contreras-Balderas, one of the greatest students of Mexican fishes in general, and of Astyanax in particular. An adjective.
Eponymy: Astyanax was the son of Hector in Greek mythology. See Homer’s Iliad for details. The reasoning for its use for a genus of characins is not explained. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Kurzbeschreibung
Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 9; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 20 - 22; Wirbelzahl: 32 - 33. Astyanax salvatoris is distinguished from other congeners in Oaxaca by following characters: anal-fin rays 20-22 (vs. 21-26); total gill rakers, mean 17 (vs. mean 22 or more in A. finitimus); anterior fontanel sharp-tipped (vs. blunt), long (vs. shorter in A. finitimus); in dorsal view, supraoccipital short, wide-based (vs. long, narrow-based in A. aeneus); 4 maxillary teeth, 2 larger followed by 2 smaller (vs. 1-3, all about same size); epibranchial III distal segment straight (vs. curved in A. finitimus); preopercular ventral rim, convex (vs. straight in A. aeneus); and predorsal elements irregularly expanded (Ref. 118583).
