Eighty-seven species of miniature Characiformes, those not surpassing 26 mm of standard length, are listed. Miniature species are commonly associated to reductive morphological characters, such as bone absences and simplifications, probably due to heterochronic processes involved in the evolution of miniaturization. Paedomorphosis may be the best interpretation to those morphological, but…
Hemigrammus geisleri was described based on specimens from Amazonian drainage near Óbidos, PA and Manaus, AM. It can be distinguished from the congeners by having a very characteristic coloration, which is transparent body in life, base of the anal fin with a black line, black spot on the caudal peduncle and posterior border of the dark back scales, forming a reticulated pattern. A prelim…
Xenurobrycon, a genus of Xenurobryconini, Stervardiinae, includes six miniature species that occur in the basin of Amazon river and Paraguay. Although the intergeneric relations of Xenurobryconini were evaluated in previous phylogenetic studies, there is not any well-known study focused to understand the relations between the species of Xenurobrycon. Moreover, these individuals give a ser…

The project aims to describe the ontogenetic development of Copella, to understand how ontogenies change during evolution and to establish the type of miniaturization of the group, once decreasing in size in Lebiasinidae is evident. This study will also contribute to new sources of relevant characters to the understanding of the relationships between the species of Copella, which is part …
