Etymology: Hyphessobrycon: Greek, hyphesson, -on, -on = a little smaller + Greek, bryko = to bite (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Eigenmann.
Issue
Weitzman & Palmer (1998: 129-130) noted that Megalamphodus ecuadorensis Eigenmann is a secondary homonym of Hyphessobrycon ecuadoriensis Eigenmann & Henn. They decided to not propose a new name in view of the uncertainties involving the taxonomic status of the species. We agree that an analysis of the species of the "rosy tetra" complex occurring in transandean rivers of South America and Central America is needed before any nomenclatural action could be made.
