Schultzites axelrodi Géry , the unique species of this genus, is differentiated from Moenkhausia by having seven to ten maxillary teeth distributed along 2/3 of its length. The remaining characters of this genus resemble Moenkhausia dichroura or M. intermedia (Tetragonopterinae) (Géry, 1977). As in Parapristella , the limited available information for this genus would suggest its inclusion in the Tetragonopterinae , but given the lack of apomorphic characters supporting this relationship, it is maintained herein as incertae sedis.
