Etymology: Apteronotus: Greek, apteros = without wings / (in this cases, fins) + Greek, noton = back (Ref. 45335); pemon: Named in reference to the Pemon indigenous group whose traditional lands included much of the Rio Caroni basin (Ref. 93867).
Eponymy: The Pemon are an eastern Venezuelan Amerindian tribe, whose traditional territories included the localities of the holotypes of these species. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Taxonomic Remarks
The report of A. leptorhynchus from the Río Claro, a left bank tributary of the lower Río Caroni and from Gran Sabana region of the upper Rio Caroni basin may be based on samples of A. pemon, which is the only member of the species-group known from that river system (Ref. 93867).
