Subfamily Crenuchinae Subfamily Characidiinae The Crenuchidae, South American darters, are a family of freshwater fish of the order Characiformes.

[1] These fish are relatively small (usually under 10 cm (4 in) in standard length) and originate from eastern Panama and South America.

[1] Both subfamilies were previously included in the family Characidae, and were placed in a separate family by Buckup, 1998.

[3] Buckup, 1993, revised all genera, except Characidium.
