Abstract

A new miniature species of Hyphessobrycon is described from an affluent of the Rio Papagaio, tributary of the Rio Juruena, upper Rio Tapajos basin, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by having a remarkable secondary sexual dimorphism in its live colouration (males are red and females yellow), well-defined and relatively narrow dark midlateral stripe extending from tip of snout to tip of middle caudal-fin rays, absence of humeral blotch, 15-18 branched anal-fin rays and five or six branched pelvic-fin rays. The sexually dimorphic colouration of the new species is briefly discussed regarding its temporal variation. (AU)
