DIAGNOSIS.—The presence of a distinct blotch of pigmentation on the distal portion of the lower caudal fin is unique to Psectrogaster rutiloides within the genus. Psectrogaster rutiloides can further be distinguished from P. amazonica, P. rhomboides, and P. curviventris in its lack of the serrate margin on the median postpelvic keel that is characteristic of those species, and by the absence of a patch of dark pigmentation at the base of the middle rays of the caudal fin, which is similarly. unique to those taxa in the genus. The possession of a transverely rounded prepelvic region without enlarged scales arranged in distinct longtiudinal rows separates P. rutiloides from P. falcata and P. essequibensis, in which the prepelvic region is distinctly flattened and has such enlarged scales. The greatest body depth of P. rutiloides (0.35–0.42 of SL) further distinguishes it from P. ciliata (greatest body depth 0.42–0.54 of SL) (Figure 11). The 46 to 51 pored lateral line scales to the hypural joint, and the absence of longitudinal body stripes separates P. rutiloides from P. saguiru, which has 41 to 47 pored lateral line scales to the hypural joint, and 10 to 13 narrow body stripes.
DESCRIPTION.—Body moderately elongate, relatively robust, more so in specimens over 75 mm SL, particularly ripe females. Dorsal profile of head straight or very slightly convex. Dorsal profile of body smoothly convex from rear of head to origin of rayed dorsal fin; straight and posteroventrally slanted at base of rayed dorsal fin, straight or gently convex from base of last dorsal-fin ray to caudal peduncle. Dorsal surface of body with indistinct median keel anterior to rayed dorsal fin, smoothly rounded transversely posterior to fin. Ventral profile of body gently curved from tip of lower jaw to caudal peduncle. Ventral surface of body transversely rounded anteriorly, with indistinct, longitudinally aligned lateral keels proximate to origin of pelvic fins. Midventral keel extends from slightly behind origin of pelvic fin to anus.

DIAGNOSIS.—Psectrogaster amazonica is one of the larger species in the genus achieving 170 mm SL. The presence in P. amazonica of a distinctly serrate postpelvic median keel and a patch of dark pigmentation at the base of the middle rays of the caudal fin distinguishes the species from all other species of Psectrogaster with the exception of P. rhomboides and P. curviventris. The transversely rounded preventral region distinguishes P. amazonica from P. curviventris, which has a distinct prepelvic midventral keel. The shorter posterior chamber of the swimbladder, the proportionally shorter snout to origin of the rayed dorsal fin distance, and overall body form of P. amazonica discriminate that species from P. rhomboides (Figures 21, 23).
DESCRIPTION.—Body moderately elongate, relatively robust, more so in specimens over 100 mm SL. Dorsal profile of head straight or very slightly convex. Dorsal profile of body distinctly convex from rear of head to origin of rayed dorsal fin; straight and posteroventrally slanted at base of dorsal fin, notably convex from base of last dorsal-fin ray to caudal peduncle. Dorsal surface of body with a short, indistinct median keel immediately anterior to rayed dorsal fin, smoothly rounded transversely posterior to fin. Ventral profile of body gently curved from tip of lower jaw to region of vertical through middle of pectoral fin; somewhat flattened from that point to under pelvic fin, then convex to caudal peduncle. Prepelvic region transversely rounded anteriorly, slightly flattened with obtuse lateral angles in body wall approximate to origin of pelvic fin in largest specimens examined. A well-developed midventral keel extends from posterior of origin of pelvic fin to anus. Scales that form margin of postpelvic keel with well-developed posteriorly and posteroventrally oriented ctenii that form a distinctly serrate margin to keel. Pre- and post pelvic median keels barely continuous.
Greatest body depth at origin of rayed dorsal fin, depth 0.44–0.50 [0.45]; snout tip to origin of rayed dorsal fin 0.50–0.55 [0.50]; snout tip to origin of anal fin 0.82–0.87 [0.83]; snout tip to origin of pelvic fin 0.53–0.59 [0.54]; snout tip to anus 0.79–0.83 [0.79]; origin of rayed dorsal fin to hypural joint 0.55–0.60 [0.58]. Rayed dorsal fin pointed, less so with increasing age; anteriormost rays 2.3–2.8 times length of ultimate ray. Pectoral fin pointed; length of pectoral fin 0.20–0.24 [0.23], extends to or nearly to vertical through origin of pelvic fin; somewhat shorter in larger specimens. Pelvic fin pointed, length of pelvic fin 0.19–0.23 [0.20], reaches one-half of distance to origin of anal fin. Pelvic fin origin level with midventral line. Caudal fin forked. Adipose fin well developed. Anal fin emarginate, anteriormost branched rays approximately twice length of ultimate ray. Caudal peduncle depth 0.11–0.14 [0.12].
Head profile distinctly pointed, head length 0.31–0.36 [0.32]; jaws equal, mouth terminal; snout length 0.26–0.32 [0.26]; nostrils of each side of head very close, anterior circular, posterior crescent shaped with aperture closed by thin flap of skin that separates nares; orbital diameter 0.26–0.31 [0.30]; adipose eyelid present, with a vertically aligned ovoid opening over middle of eye; length of postorbital portion of head 0.44–0.50 [0.50]; gape width 0.29–0.34 [0.31]; interorbital width 0.43–0.50 [0.48].
Pored lateral line scales from supracleithrum to hypural joint 43 to 50 [46]; all scales of lateral line pored, canals in scales straight; 4 to 7 series of scales extend beyond hypural joint onto caudal fin base; 13 to 16 [13] scales in a transverse series from origin of rayed dorsal fin to lateral line, 8 to 11 [9] scales in a transverse series from the lateral line to origin of anal fin; scales distinctly ctenoid, more so ventrally, particularly along margin of postpelvic keel.
Dorsal-fin rays ii or iii,9 [ii,9]; anal-fin rays i,8 or ii, 7–8 or iii,7–8 [iii,7]; pectoral-fin rays 13 to 16 [14]; pelvic-fin rays i,7 or 8 [i,8].
Total vertebrae 29 (1), 30 (19).
COLOR IN ALCOHOL.—Specimens that retain guanine on scales golden or golden silvery, overall head and body pigmenation more intense on dorsal portions of head and body. Specimens that lack guanine on scales yellowish tan or brownish, overall head and body pigmentation more intense dorsal of lateral line. An obscure midlateral band present along posterior portion of body in some individuals. No discrete pigmentation pattern on head or body. Well-developed but somewhat diffuse patch of dark chromatophores at base of middle rays of caudal fin (Figure 21). Median fins with series of small dark chromatophores outlining rays. Dorsal margin of adipose fin edged with dark chromatophores.
DISTRIBUTION.—Widely distributed in the Rio Amazonas drainage basin (Figure 22).
COMMON NAME.—Brazil, Rio Madeira: cascudinha, chico duro (Goulding, 1981); Rio Tocantins: branquinha comun (Santos et al., 1984:28). Peru: Chio-chio (Ortega and Vari, 1986:11).
LIFE HISTORY.—Santos et al. (1984:28) report that Psectrogaster amazonica is one of the most common and abundant along the Rio Tocantins of eastern Brazil. It was reported by those authors as eating organic detritus, benthic organisms, and periphyton. Sexual maturity is achieved at 15 cm and breeding occurs between November and January. The species is the basis of an intensive fishery in the Rio Tocantins.
