Brycon insignis, the Tiete tetra, is a species of fish in the family Characidae. It is endemic to the Paraíba do Sul River basin in southeast Brazil.[2] B. insignis migrates upstream to spawn and has traditionally been important to fisheries,[3] but it is now a threatened species.[4]
Some authorities recognize B. acuminatus as a separate, possibly extinct species,[5] but recent authorities treat it as a synonym of B. insignis.[6][7]
