Abstract

Brachyhypopomus jureiae, new species, is described from a tributary of Rio Una do Prelado, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean, State of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil. It differs from all other Brachyhypopomus species by the absence of dark transversal bars, replaced by a horizontal series of dark circular to oblique spots, ventro-laterally on the body, among other characters.
