          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Neon tetras (Paracheirodon spp.) are three colorful characid species with a complicated taxonomic history, and relationships among the species are poorly known. Molecular data resolved the relationships among the three neon tetras, and strongly supported monophyly of the genus and its sister taxon relationship to Brittanichthys. Additionally, the sister-taxon relationship of the rummy-nose tetras Hemigrammus bleheri and Petitella georgiae was strongly supported by molecular and morphological data. Therefore, we propose to transfer the rummy-nose tetras H. bleheri and H. rhodostomus to the genus Petitella. Furthermore, Petitella georgiae is likely to be a species complex comprised of at least two species.

          RESUMO Os neon tetras (Paracheirodon spp.) são três espécies de caracídeos coloridos com uma complicada história taxonômica e as relações entre suas espécies são pouco conhecidas. Dados moleculares resolveram as relações entre os três neons tetras, suportando fortemente a monofilia do gênero e a relação de grupo-irmão com Brittanichthys. Adicionalmente, a relação de grupo-irmão entre os rodóstomos Hemigrammus bleheri e Petitella georgiae foi fortemente suportada por dados moleculares e morfológicos. Portanto, nós propomos transferir os rodóstomos H. bleheri e H. rhodostomus para o gênero Petitella. Além disso, é possível que Petitella georgiae seja um complexo de espécies composto por, pelo menos, duas espécies.

              Phylogeny of the family Characidae (Teleostei: Characiformes): from characters to taxonomy

              The family Characidae is the most diverse among Neotropical fishes. Systematics of this family are mainly based on pre-cladistic papers, and only recently a phylogenetic hypothesis for Characidae was proposed by the author. That phylogeny was based on 360 morphological characters studied for 160 species, including representatives of families related to Characidae. This paper is based on that phylogenetic analysis, with the analyzed characters described herein and documented, accompanied by comparisons of their definition and coding in previous papers. Synapomorphies of each node of the proposed phylogeny are listed, comparisons with previous classifications provided, and autapomorphies of the analyzed species listed. Taxonomic implications of the proposed classification and the position of the incertae sedis genera within Characidae are discussed. A discussion of the phylogenetic information of the characters used in the classical systematics of the Characidae is provided.
