Designation of a lectotype for Deuterodon pedri Eigenmann, 1908 (Characiformes: Characidae)

Deuterodon pedri was briefly described in 1908 by Carl Eigenmann on the basis of seven specimens of 73–100 mm standard length (SL), all "in very poor condition" according to the author. In the original description, Eigenmann did not mention the location where the specimens were captured, even though the publication presented results of the Thayer expedition to Brazil (Eigenmann 1908: 93).
