Pituna may also be distinguished by the following combination of characters: body squamation extending onto anterior 40–50 % of caudal fin in males (vs. 25–30 %), pectoral-fin rays 14–15 (vs. 11–13), caudal fin dark brown in males (vs. caudal fin never darkly colored in males), humeral spot metallic blue in males (vs. humeral spot absent), dorsal-fin rays 8–11 (vs. 11–13), anal-fin rays 13–16 (vs. 17–20), pelvic-fin rays 7 (vs. 8–9), dorsal and anal fins pointed in males (vs. rounded); distal portion of dorsal fin red in males (vs. not distinctively colored).
Distribution. Xingu, Araguaia, Tocantins, Paranaiba, and Paraná river basins, Brazil (Fig. 1).

Type species. Tachycines (Tachycines) asynamorus Adelung, 1902.
Generic diagnosis. Body size variable in Aemodogryllini. Fore femora with or without spines ventrally. Hind femora with or without spines ventrally, hind tibia with internal and external spines dorsally, arranged in groups. Hind metatarsus with apical spine dorsally, ventrally keeled or with bristles.
