Etymology: Astyanax: The name of Astyanax, Hector´s son in the Greek mythology (Ref. 45335); minor: Name from Latin 'minor' meaning small; in allusion to small body size of this species, when compared with remaining species of Astyanax from Iguaçu basin.
Eponymy: Astyanax was the son of Hector in Greek mythology. See Homer’s Iliad for details. The reasoning for its use for a genus of characins is not explained. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 8 - 10; Anale zachte stralen: 16 - 23. This species is distinguished from all its congeners from Rio Iguaçu by the following set of characters: third infraorbital deep and not in contact with preopercle, leaving an narrow naked area between its border and preopercle; premaxillary external series with 4-6, usually 5 or 6 pentacuspid or heptacuspid teeth; first branchial arch 9-12, usually 10 rakers in upper branch and 13-16, usually 14 or 15 rakers in lower branch; a narrow and elongated vertical humeral bar (Ref. 85756).
