Genus Salminus View in CoL

The Salmininae was proposed by Eigenmann (1917) as a line diverging from the Cheirodontinae . Roberts (1969) alternatively considered Salminus to be a basal characid. Géry (1977) included this genus in the tribe Salminini , as part of the subfamily Bryconinae . The genus Salminus was classified as incertae sedis within the Characidae by Lima et al. (2003), and it is herein proposed to be removed from that group and classified in its own subfamily.
