Name
editHemibrycon Günther, 1864
- created as a subgenus of Tetragonopterus
- Type species: Tetragonopterus polyodon Günther, 1864
Etymology: hemi-, half, allusion not evident, perhaps referring to smaller teeth and/or mouth compared to Brycon (although proposed as a subgenus of Tetragonopterus); brycon, generalized term used in generic names of many characiform fishes, derived from bryco, to bite, gnash teeth or eat greedily, originally an allusion to fully toothed maxillae.
