The attenuate body, elongate jaws bearing numerous relatively small teeth with
posteriorly recurved teeth arranged in a single row in each jaw, and the posteriorly
positioned dorsal and anal fins are features which in combination serve to unequivocally
separate the Ctenoluciidae from other members of the Characiformes. The
Ctenoluciidae is also distinguished within the Characiformes by a series of derived
features discussed by Vari (1995). [ eng ] |
