          Abstract

          Chrysobrycon eliasi is described from several drainages of río Madre de Dios and upper río Manuripe basins, río Madeira basin, Peru. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by the maxillary teeth, which are tricuspidate, bicuspidate and conical, and the terminal lateral-line tube developed between caudal-fin rays 10-11. Other characters that help to recognize C. eliasi are the possession of maxilla with 6-15 (usually 11) teeth occupying more than 70% of the length of the maxilla in adults, predorsal scales 18-22, dorsal-fin to hypural complex length 36.32-41.17% of standard length (SL), gill-gland length in males 3.57-5.05% SL, maxillary length 33.76-38.75% of head length, and branched anal-fin rays 24-30. The discovery of C. eliasi allows us to extend the geographic distribution of the genus to the southeast, into the río Madeira basin.

          Chrysobrycon eliasi se describe para varios drenajes en las cuencas de los ríos Madre de Díos y Alto Manuripe, cuenca del río Madeira, Peru. La nueva especie puede diferenciarse de sus congéneres por la presencia de dientes maxilares, que son tricuspidados, bicuspidados y cónicos, y el tubo terminal de la línea lateral desarrollado entre los radios caudales 10-11. Otros caracteres que ayudan a reconocer C. eliasi son la presencia de 6-15 (usualmente11) dientes maxilares ocupando más del 70% de la longitud de la maxila en adultos, escamas predorsales 18-22, longitud origen aleta dorsal-hipurales 36,32-41,17% de longitud estandard (LE), longitud de la glándula branquial en machos 3,57-5,05% LE, longitud de la maxila 33,76-38,75% de longitud de la cabeza, y radios ramificados en la aleta anal 24-30. El hallazgo de C. eliasi nos permite ampliar la distribución geográfica del género hacia el sureste en la cuenca del río Madeira.

          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.
