The new species is distinct from most species of Astyanax by the vertically elongated humeral spot, slightly expanded above the lateral line to posterodorsal margin of opercle, followed by a midlateral dark stripe expanded from the humeral region to the median caudal-fin rays, maxilla with 2 to 5 teeth (usually 3) and 15 to 18 branched anal-fin rays. É descrita uma nova espécie de caracídeo coletada em um pequeno tributário do trecho superior do rio Iguaçu, bacia do rio Paraná, Brasil.
