Listed in GBIF
Description
This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ota, Rafaela Priscila, Py-Daniel, Lúcia Helena Rapp, Jégu, Michel (2016): A new Silver Dollar species of Metynnis Cope, 1878 (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae) from Northwestern Brazil and Southern Venezuela. Neotropical Ichthyology (Neotrop. Ichthyol.) 14 (4), No. e 160023: 1-12, DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20160023, URL: dx.doi.org/10.1590/1982-0224-20160023 A new Metynnis is described from the rio Negro in Brazil and Venezuela, and from black- or clearwater tributaries in Brazil including the rios Parauari, Uatumã, Trombetas, and Sucunduri (the latter belonging to the rio Madeira basin).
The new species can be distinguished readily from all congeners by having a high concentration of dark chromatophores on the lateral line scales. It can be further distinguished by the combination of head length 24.3-27.5% of SL, 13-18 gill-rakers on upper limb and 16-24 gill-rakers on lower limb. The new species is most similar to and likely most closely related to Metynnis hypsauchen.

These two species share a similar color pattern, body shape and sexual dimorphism of the anal fin. However, they differ in that M. hypsauchen has a lightly pigmented lateral line. The new species is also distinguished from M. hypsauchen by having 56-65 predorsal scales and 90-104 lateral line scales (vs. 36-54, and 65-82, respectively).
A detailed osteological description of the new species is provided. Um novo Metynnis é descrito do rio Negro, no Brasil e Venezuela, e de tributários de água clara ou preta no Brasil, incluindo os rios Parauari, Uatumã, Trombetas e Sucunduri (o último pertencendo à bacia do rio Madeira). A nova espécie pode ser prontamente distinguida de todas as congêneres por possuir escamas da linha lateral com elevada concentração de cromatóforos escuros.
Ela pode ser adicionalmente diferenciada por uma combinação de comprimento da cabeça 24,3-27,5% do CP, 13-18 rastros branquiais no ramo superior e 16-24 rastros branquiais no ramo inferior. A nova espécie é mais similar e provavelmente mais proximamente relacionada à Metynnis hypsauchen. Essas duas espécies compartilham padrão de colorido semelhante, forma do corpo e dimorfismo sexual na nadadeira anal.
No entanto, elas diferem na presença de linha lateral com pigmentos mais claros em M. hypsauchen. A nova espécie também pode ser distinguida de M. hypsauchen por apresentar 56-65 escamas pré-dorsais e 90-104 escamas na linha lateral (vs. 36-54, e 65-82, respectivamente). Uma descrição osteológica detalhada da nova espécie é fornecida.
