Steindachnerina seriata

Eight Point Three Centimeters Curimatid Fish from the Brazilian Coast

Steindachnerina seriata is known from South America as a freshwater fish. It occurs in freshwater habitats.

Class: Teleosts
Order: Characins
Family: Curimatidae
Genus: Steindachnerina
Maximum length: 8.3 cm
Water: Freshwater
Distribution: South America: known only from two localities that lie relatively close to each other in the Rio Jamanxim, a right bank tributary of the Rio Tapajo´s in the eastern portions of the Amazon basin. Further sampling is necessary in order to determine whether S. seriata has a restricted range as proposed for various groups of Brazilian freshwater fishes by Nogueira et al. (2010). Alternatively, the apparent limited distribution for the species might reflect the undersampling of the Rio Tapajo´s ichthyofauna as evidenced by the recent discovery of S. seriata and S. fasciata in that catchment (Ref. 88964 ).
Conservation status: DDData Deficient
