Moenkhausia chlorophthalma can be differentiated from both M. petymbuaba and M. plumbea by the possession of a proximal well-delimited black area on the adipose fin (vs. adipose fin with uniformly scattered dark chromatophores), 7 longitudinal rows of large dark blotches (vs. 8-9), 25-28 lateral line scales (vs. 33-36), 4 scales between the lateral line and the dorsal-fin origin (vs. 5), and 7-12 scales covering the anal-fin base (vs. 4-9). Moenkhausia chlorophthalma can be further separated from M. petymbuaba by lacking a conspicuous midlateral dark stripe (vs. presence of conspicuous midlateral dark stripe); and from M. plumbea by having 7 branched pelvic-fin rays (vs. 6-7 in specimens of M. plumbea examined) (Ref. 84462).
