Abstract
Intensive sampling in the Rio Jequitinhonha basin led us to the discovery of a new species of Astyanax. In this study, based on meristics, morphometrics, external morphology and colour pattern, Astyanax turmalinensis (Characiformes: Characidae: Tetragonopterinae) is described from Córrego Divisão, a tributary of the right side of the Rio Jequitinhonha at Peixe-Crú, Município of Turmalina, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
