  abstract = {{A} new {M}etynnis is described from the rio {N}egro in {B}razil and {V}enezuela, and from black- or clearwater tributaries in {B}razil including the rios {P}arauari, {U}atuma, {T}rombetas, and {S}ucunduri (the latter belonging to the rio {M}adeira basin). {T}he new species can be distinguished readily from all congeners by having a high concentration of dark chromatophores on the lateral line scales. {I}t can be further distinguished by the combination of head length 24.3-27.5% of {SL}, 13-18 gill-rakers on upper limb and 16-24 gill-rakers on lower limb. {T}he new species is most similar to and likely most closely related to {M}etynnis hypsauchen. {T}hese two species share a similar color pattern, body shape and sexual dimorphism of the anal fin. {H}owever, they differ in that {M}. hypsauchen has a lightly pigmented lateral line. {T}he new species is also distinguished from {M}. hypsauchen by having 56-65 predorsal scales and 90-104 lateral line scales (vs. 36-54, and 65-82, respectively). {A} detailed osteological description of the new species is provided.},
