Abstract:
A new species of Eigenmannia is described from the rio Mutum, tributary of upper rio
Juruena, rio Tapajo´s basin, Comodoro, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The new species is distinguished
from all congeners by coloration pattern, position of the mouth, number of scales
rows above lateral line, number of premaxillary and dentary teeth, number of precaudal
vertebrae, orbital diameter, mouth width, relative depth of posterodorsal expansion on infraorbitals
1+2 and relative size of coronomeckelian bone. Comments on potentially useful
characters in phylogenetic studies derived from musculature, discussion on Eigenmannia
species-group and the first dichotomous key for Eigenmannia are provided.
