Fig. 1. Landmarks on body (left) and head (right) of Characidium used for taking morphometric data: (1) tip of snout; (2d, v) posteriormost tip of
dorsal or ventral caudal-fin lobe, respectively; (3) middle of vertical line that passes through the posterior edge of hypurals; (4) posterior tip of opercle
bone; (5) origin of pectoral fin (5base of anterior pectoral-fin ray); (6) tip of the third unbranched pectoral-fin ray; (7) origin of dorsal fin; (79)
contralateral spot on belly to origin of dorsal fin, for the body depth at the origin of dorsal fin; (8) tip of the second dorsal-fin ray; (9) insertion of the
dorsal fin; (10) origin of pelvic fin; (11) tip of the unbranched pelvic-fin ray; (12) anus; (13) origin of anal fin; (139) contralateral spot on dorsum to
origin of anal fin, for the body depth at the anal-fin origin; (14) tip of second anal-fin ray; (15) tip of longest anal-fin ray; (16) insertion of anal fin;
(17) origin of adipose fin; (18) distal tip of adipose fin; (19 and 199) origin of dorsal and ventral anterior procurrent caudal-fin ray, respectively; (20)
anterior, soft margin of eye; (21) posterior, soft margin of eye; (22) ventral, soft margin of eye; (23) posterior tip of maxilla; (24) anterior rim of
anterior naris; (25) anterior rim of posterior naris; (26) posterior prolongation of dermal fold that overlays the maxilla when mouth is closed; (27)
lateral margin of frontal bone, at its greatest concavity. Continuous line indicates the body limits, and dotted line indicates bones only seen by
transparence of skin; abbreviations are: op, opercle bone; sop, subopercle bone.
