Description

Schultzites Géry, 1964b

Schultzites axelrodi Géry, the unique species of this genus, is differentiated from Moenkhausia by having seven to ten maxillary teeth distributed along 2/3 of its length. The remaining characters of this genus resemble Moenkhausia dichroura or M. intermedia (Tetragonopterinae) (Géry, 1977). As in Parapristella, the limited available information for this genus would suggest its inclusion in the Tetragonopterinae, but given the lack of apomorphic characters supporting this relationship, it is maintained herein as incertae sedis.
