There are currently
7 described species of
Satanoperca (Günther, 1862):
*
Satanoperca acuticeps (Heckel, 1840)
*
Satanoperca daemon (Heckel, 1840) *
Satanoperca jurupari (Heckel, 1840) *
Satanoperca leucosticta (
Müller & Troschel, 1848) *
Satanoperca lilith (Kullander & Ferreira, 1988) *
Satanoperca mapiritensis (Fernández-Yépez, 1950) *
Satanoperca pappaterra (Heckel, 1840)In this study authors remove from treating the species
Satanoperca mapiritensis because
S. jurupari and
S. mapiritensis did not show clear genetic distinction and they add 3 undescribed species:
Satanoperca sp."Araguaia",
S. sp."Xingu" and
S. sp."Tapajós", so they are treating
9 species of genus
Satanoperca.
