"Piabucus caudomaculatus is a new species of iguanodectine characoid from Bolivia and the first member of the subfamily Iguanodectinae reported from that country. The Iguanodectinae are shown to share a series of modifications of the swimbladder, body wall, and anterior proximal pterygiophores, which distinguish them from other characoids and support the hypothesis of the monophyletic nature of the group"--P. [1].
