A New Species of Parodon from the Serra da Mantiqueira, Brazil (Teleostei: Characiformes: Parodontidae)ABSTRACT
Parodon moreirai, new species, is described from headwater streams of the Rio Sapucai basin, tributary of the Rio Grande basin, upper Rio Paraná system, in the southwestern region of the Serra da Mantiqueira, southeastern Brazil. The new species is distinguishable from other species of Parodontidae by morphological, coloration, and karyotypic characters. Some adults of P. moreirai lack dentary teeth. Absence of dentary teeth is the main diagnostic character that traditionally distinguishes Apareiodon from Paradon, and the variability of that character underscores the need for a phylogenetic revision of the Parodontidae.
