ABSTRACT
A new species in the serrasalmid genus Myloplus is described from the middle Mazaruni River, Essequibo River basin, Guyana. The new species is similar to Myleus pacu and Myloplus planquettei in its silver to purplish black coloration and its overall morphology, and has a putative syntopic distribution with those species. The new species is, however, readily distinguishable from the other two by meristic counts of the unpaired fins and by differences in color pattern, primarily in males. Additionally, we provide comments on Myleus pacu and other species that have been confounded under that name.(AU)
RESUMO
Uma nova espécie de serrasalmídeo do gênero Myloplus é descrita do médio rio Mazaruni, bacia do rio Essequibo, Guyana. A nova espécie é similar a Myleus pacu e Myloplus planquettei pela sua coloração prateada a preto arroxeado e pela morfologia geral do corpo, e por ter suposta distribuição sintópica com essas espécies. No entanto, a nova espécie é prontamente distinguida dessas duas últimas espécies por contagens das nadadeiras não pares, e por diferenças no padrão de coloração, principalmente nos machos. Adicionalmente, fornecemos comentários sobre Myleus pacu e outras espécies que têm sido confundidas sob esse nome.(AU)
