Etymology: Andromakhe: Named for Áνδρομάχη, Andromakhe (‘battle of men’), a character in Greek mythology, she is the wife of Hector, Prince of Troy, and, in Homer’s epic poem Iliad, the mother of Ἀστυάναξ, Astyanax (‘city protector’); paris: Named after Paris, uncle of Astyanax, who fought in the Trojan war (Ref. 46822).
Eponymy: Andromakhe (or Andromache) is a character in Greek mythology: the wife of Hector, Prince of Troy, and the mother of Astyanax. The name was chosen when the authors placed several species formerly in the genus Astyanax into this new genus. Paris is a mythological character in the story of the Trojan War. He was a son of King Priam of Troy who ran off with Helen, wife of Greek king Menelaus (see Homer’s Iliad for the full story). Astyanax, son of Hector, was his nephew. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 12; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 21 - 27. Distinguished from all Astyanax congeners by the possession of a shallow body (body depth 34.9-39.4% SL); 3-4 maxillary teeth; the insertion of the fifth tooth of the inner premaxillary series posterior to main series; presence of two humeral spots, second humeral spot distinctly vertically elongated and sometimes wider than the first; the presence of 34-36 perforated scales in the lateral series, and iv-v, 20-22 anal fin rays (Ref. 46822). Olive green, iridescent gold in color; red pigmentation on last 4 or 5 procurrent rays, unbranched principal rays and on 3 branched principal rays in each caudal fin lobe, except on distal portion of those rays; yellowish area bounding this red caudal portion; adipose fin and base of anal fins yellowish (Ref. 46822).
Inhabits streams with depths ranging from less than 1 m to over 2 m (Ref. 46822).
