Mixobrycon
Mixobrycon is a monospecific genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the suborder Characoidei within the order Characiformes, the characins. The only species in the genus is Mixobrycon ribeiroi, a species endemic to Paraguay, where it is found in the Paraguay River basin. This taxon has not been assigned to a particular family within the Characoidei and is considered to be incertae sedis, i.e. its taxonomic affinities are, as yet, unclear.
Named in honor of Alípio de Miranda Ribeiro (1874-1939) a Brazilian ichthyologist-herpetologist.
