Hemigrammus

The genus Hemigrammus was first described by Gill in 1858. They belong to the family Characidae or the Characins. This large family is subdivided into subfamilies and tribes. Hemigrammus falls into the subfamily Stethaprioninae and tribus Pristellini.

The genus name Hemigrammus comes from ancient Greek and can be broken into two parts. Hemi means ‘half’ and gramma means ‘letter’ or ‘signal’. This is a reference to the lateral line breaking off abruptly halfway through.
