Eretmobrycon is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Stevardiidae. The fishes in this genus are found in Central and South America.[2]
Etymology
[edit]Eretmón (Gr. ἐρετμόν) means "oar" or "paddle", referring to the paddle-like lower caudal-fin lobe of E. bayano. "Brycon" is a generalized term used in generic names of many characiform fishes, derived from brýchō (Gr. βρύχω), meaning to "bite", "gnash teeth" or "eat greedily", originally an allusion to a fully toothed maxillae.[3]
