Etymology: Bryconops: Greek, bryko = to bite + Greek, ops = appearance (Ref. 45335);  munduruku: Named in allusion to a tribe of Munduruku Indians denominated Tapajós-Tapera, who settled on the right margin of the Tapajós River, giving rise to what today is the city of Aveiro, the type locality of Bryconops munduruku (Ref. 104128).

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10-11; Anal soft rays: 26 - 29; Vertebrae: 41 - 42. Diagnosis: Bryconops munduruku differs from its congeners, except B. inpai and B. piracolina, by possessing a black adipose fin (vs. adipose fin hyaline in alcohol); it differs from B. inpai and B. piracolina by possessing a hyaline band on the black adipose-fin base (vs. entirely black adipose fin in B. piracolina and B. inpai); Bryconops munduruku differs further from B. piracolina by having a hyaline dorsal fin (vs. presence of a large black blotch on the dorsal-fin base); Bryconops munduruku differs from other species of the subgenus Creatochanes, except B. inpai, by possessing 2 humeral blotches (vs. lack of humeral blotch or humeral region with a single humeral blotch in B. humeralis and B. vibex); it differs further from B. inpai due to the uniform color pattern on the posterior portion of the side of the body (vs. presence of a dark stripe extending posteriorly from the half of the anal-fin base onto the base of the middle caudal-fin rays) (Ref. 104128).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Igarapé Açu presents clear water running over sandy beds; its headwaters are located within the limits of the Tapajós National Forest and are densely covered by marginal vegetation (Ref. 104128).
