The new genus possesses derived ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays and anal-fin rays that support its placement among characids of the tribe Cheirodontini. The new genus and species is diagnosed from the other members of the tribe by the shape of ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays and anal-fin rays.
