Name

edit

Xenurobrycon Myers & Miranda Ribeiro, 1945

Etymology: From xenos (= strange) and oura (= tail), referring to caudal-fin glands of males that release pheromones during courtship; 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.
