description: <i>Satanoperca</i> sp. <b>Fig. 35</b> Body deep; greatest body depth contained 2.0 to 2.8, head depth 2.5 to 3.3 and caudal peduncle depth 5.8 to 7.7 times in SL; head length 2.5 to 3.3 and caudal peduncle length 6.0 to 9.4 in SL; snout length 1.9 to 2.2, horizontal orbital diameter 2.8 to 3.7 and least interorbital width 3.3 to 3.6 in HL. Mouth terminal; premaxilla and dentary with one or two teeth rows. Upper lateral line with 17-21 and lower lateral line with 8-12 pored scales, and longitudinal series with 27-33 scales. Transversal series above upper lateral line with 3½-4 scale rows, and below lower lateral line with 6-9 scale rows. Dorsal fin with XIV-XVI,9-11, pectoral fin with 13-16, pelvic fin with I,5 and anal fin with III,6-8 rays (Ota, 2013). Ground color greenish; dark-brown longitudinal band, from opercle to caudal peduncle; seven dark-brown transverse bars on flank. Soft portion of dorsal and anal fins with white spots; pelvic fin with iridescent blue stripe; black rounded blotch on base of upper caudal-fin lobe. <b>Maximum standard length.</b> 173.0 mm. <b>Distribution.</b> Rio Tocantins-Araguaia and upper rio Paraná basins. <b>Remarks.</b> <i>Satanoperca</i> sp. was identified as <i>S. pappaterra</i> by Graça, Pavanelli (2007). Ota (2013), in a revisionary study of <i>Satanoperca</i> Günther, 1862, restricted the distribution of <i>S. pappaterra</i> to the rio Guaporé and río Paraguay basins, and proposed the new identification for the specimens from the upper rio Paraná floodplain. <i>Satanoperca</i> sp. is currently considered non-native from the upper rio Paraná (<i>e.g.</i> Langeani <i>et al.</i>, 2007; Kullander, 2012), and its occurence in the region has been associated with the filling of the Itaipu Reservoir (Júlio Jr. <i>et al.</i>, 2009), or with the introduction from other river basins.
