Erythrinidae

The Erythrinidae are a family of fishes found in rivers and other freshwater habitats from Costa Rica south as far as Argentina. They are common and are caught with hooks by fishermen, partially because of their voracious behaviour. They are sometimes called trahiras or tarariras.

Genera
The 16 species are contained in extant (living) genera, plus another extinct species in a separate genus: • Erythrinus Scopoli, 1777 • Hoplerythrinus Gill, 1896 • Hoplias Gill, 1903 - giant trahiras • Paleohoplias Bocquentin & Negri, 2003 (fossil; Neogene of Brazil) ==References==
