status

Definition: The least inclusive crown clade that contains Creagrutus muelleri (Günther 1859) , Caiapobrycon tucurui Malabarba and Vari, 2000 , and Microgenys minuta Eigenmann, 1913 . This is a minimum-crown-clade definition. See Figure 3 View Figure 3 for a reference phylogeny of Creagrutinae. Although not included in the reference phylogeny, Creagrutus muelleri resolves in a clade with other species of Creagrutus in a phylogenetic analysis of morphological characters (Vari and Harlod 2001).

Etymology: From the ancient Greek κΡεάγΡευτος (kɹˈiːɡɹuːtˈɑːs) meaning tearing off flesh.

Remarks: Mirande et al. (2013) and Thomaz et al. (2015) resolved a clade containing Creagrutus and Carlastyanax . Mirande (2019) later expanded Creagrutini to include Planaltina , Lepidocharax , and Microgenys with two subclades: one with L. burnsi Ferreira et al., 2011 and P. britskii Menezes et al., 2003 (see Planaltininae ), and the second containing Microgenys , Carlastyanax , and Creagrutus . Ferreira et al. (2021) delimited Creagrutini to include Carlastyanax , Creagrutus , and Microgenys that was supported with 12 morphological synapomorphies. Our UCE phylogeny resolves Microgenys as the sister-lineage of a paraphyletic Creagrutus ( Fig. 3 View Figure 3 ). Caiapobrycon tucurui is nested within Creagrutus ( Fig. 3 View Figure 3 ). We delimit Creagrutinae to include the genera Caiapobrycon , Creagrutus , Microgenys , and Carlastyanax .
