Creagrutus gyrospilus is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a characin, belonging to the family Stevardiidae. [1]
It is native to South America, occurring in the western Orinoco River basin of Venezuela.
This species reaches a length of 6.2 cm (2.4 in). [2]
The species name derives from the Greek gȳ́ros (γῦρος), meaning 'circle,' and spílos (σπίλος), meaning 'mark' or 'spot,' in reference to its rounded humeral spot, as opposed to a vertically elongate one. [3]
