Pristella is a genus of fish in the family Characidae. It was formerly a monotypic taxon only containing Pristella maxillaris, but in 2019 a second species, Pristella ariporo, was described.
Taxonomy
Until 2019, Pristella was a monotypic genus, but P. ariporo was described in 2019. Additionally, Hyphessobrycon axelrodi may belong in Pristella due to its conical teeth, but further genetic studies are needed to confirm this.
Species
There are currently 3 described species:
- Pristella ariporo Conde-Saldaña, Albornoz-Garzón, García-Melo, Villa-Navarro, Mirande & F. C. T. Lima, 2019
- Pristella crinogi F. C. T. Lima, Caires, Conde-Saldaña, Mirande & F. R. Carvalho, 2021
- Pristella maxillaris (Ulrey, 1894)
