Myxiops
Myxiops is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fishes in the subfamily Stygichthyinae of family Acestrorhamphidae, the American tetras. The name is an allusion to the slime that the fish produces, from the Greek, meaning "mucus". It was formerly monotypic, including only M. aphos, and both species were at some time allocated to its sister taxon of Deuterodon, before the genus was revalidated in 2024.
