Hypomastictus despaxi (Puyo, 1943) : tëpumi (Wa); walakuwili (Wi); ston fisi (B); leporinus rayé (F); piau (Br).

Note: Dimorphism between adult and young fish is considered by the Wayana as sexual dimorphism.

Leporinus acutidens (Valenciennes, 1837) : karp-jonn, kamnari (C); kaminri (P); kaunali (Wi); kamidali (T); aracúpaca, aracú-cabeça-gorda, aracú-comum (Br).

Note: This species, restricted to East French Guiana, is a sister species to Leporinus friderici , with which some populations confuse it.

Leporinus fasciatus (Bloch, 1794) : kwachimanman, roujé (C); kwashimama (K); kalanale, sieumëna (Wa); kwanã (B); kwana (S); leporinus à bandes (F); aracú-flamengo, flamengista, aracú-pinima (Br); banded or black-banded leporinus (E).

Leporinus gossei Géry, Planquette & Le Bail, 1991 : karptanponnen, karp-jonn (C); sawaig (P); napiwak, talani (Wa); walaku tawa (Wi, T); leporinus de Gosse (F).

Note: Juveniles of L. friderici and L. acutidens are easily mistaken for L. gossei .

Leporinus granti Eigenmann, 1912 : karp-rouj, karptanponnen (C); tugũyu (K); këtïji (Wa); lebi-waku (B); abonkia (S); leporinus de Grant (F); aracú (Br).

Leporinus lebaili Géry & Planquette, 1983 : karp-blé, karp-tanponnen (C); walaku (K); walak (Wa); weti-waku (B); leporinus de Le Bail (F).

Leporinus maculatus Müller & Troschel, 1844 : karp (C); awalapuku (K); enhai putpë, kasipukë (Wa); kwasima (S); kwasimama (B); aracú-pinima, aracú-miguelzinho (Br).

Leporinus melanostictus Norman, 1926 : karp-rouj (C); wahaku (P); walaku pilã (Wi); walaku pinãng (T); aracú (Br).

Note: In the Oyapock, Leporinus nijsseni replaces its sister species, L. granti , given that it is difficult to tell the two species apart.

Leporinus pellegrini Steindachner, 1910 : karp (C); sawaig (P); leporinus de Pellegrin (F); aracú-pinima, aracú-miguelzinho (Br).

Note: In the lower Oyapock, Leporinus pellegrini replaces its sister species, L. maculatus , given that it is difficult to tell these two species apart.

Schizodon fasciatum Agassiz, 1829 : karp-réyé (C); niamisi-fisi (B); njamsi-fisi (S); schizodon fascié (F): aracúpintado (Br).
