Odontesthes perugiae Evermann and Kendall, 1906 was 
described based on a single specimen obtained in Argentina, 
label lost (Lahille 1929). This species belongs to a very

Odontesthes ledae Malabarba and Dyer, 2002; Odontesthes 
piquava Malabarba and Dyer, 2002 (Dyer 2006).
Beheregaray et al. (2002) studied patterns of population 
differentiation and evolutionary relationships in the O. 
perugiae complex concluding that the O. perugiae morphotype 
from the Uruguay River is a genetically divergent taxon that 
is not phylogenetically associated with the coastal radiation 
from southern Brazil, meaning that is not involved in the 
diversification of the coastal lineage.
Odontesthes perugiae occurs in freshwater drainages of 
the Río de la Plata (Dyer 2003) (Figure 1). It has been reported 
from the lower Paraná River (Ringuelet et al. 1967), from the 
Uruguay River (Fowler 1943; Ringuelet et al. 1967; Delfino

ponds and Salado River in Santa Fé Province (Bonetto 1956)

Odontesthes perugiae is associated with vegetated areas, 
“esteros” (local wetlands), “bañados” and lagoons that have 
permanent or temporary connections with lotic environments. 
Due to these habits, O. perugiae receive the name “juncalero”, 
alluding to the common littoral plant Scirpus californicus

On September 2008, specimens of O. perugiae were 
collected by J. Iwaszkiw at Camba Cué lagoon, a water body
