Etymology: Tetragonopterus: Name from Greek words: 'Tetra' meaning four; 'gonia' meaning angle; 'pteron' for fin; referring to the evident tetragonal shape of the body (Ref. 124043); georgiae: Named in honor of the wife of the describer (Ref. 27188).
Eponymy: Georgette Géry was the wife of the author Dr Jacques Géry (1917–2007) (q.v.). Although the original text was silent, the author later revealed that this was the lady honoured. (Also see Georgia) (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Краткое описание
определительные ключи | морфология | морфометрия
членистые (мягкие) лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 9; членистые (мягкие) лучи анального плавника: 23 - 27; позвонки: 29. This species is distinguished from its congeners, except T. rarus, by the number of scale rows between lateral line and pelvic fin origin 4.5-5.5 (vs. 3.5 scale rows); differs from T. rarus by the longitudinal dark stripes on the trunk which is absent (vs. present); differs from T. anostomus, T. denticulatus, T. kuluene, T. juruena by the principal teeth in dentary 4 (vs. 5-6) with larger and more robust teeth (vs. thinner and sharper teeth); differs from T. anostomus, T. kuluene by the conspicuous humeral marks 2 (vs. 1 and inconspicuous); differs from T. anostomus by the mouth being terminal (vs. subsuperior); differs from T. anostomus, T. araguaiensis with gill rakers on the lower limb of the first gill arch 10-12 (vs. 17-20) and upper limb 7-8 (vs. 10-12); differs from T. argenteus by the predorsal scales 8 (vs. 11-17), and from T. carvalhoi by having a rounded dark mark on the caudal peduncle (vs. a lozenge-shaped); differs from T. ommatus by teeth on maxilla 1-4 (vs. 7-8) and with a dark mark centered on caudal peduncle (vs. mark limited to the posterior portion of the caudal peduncle) (Ref. 124043).
