Aphyodite is a genus of characin in the family Characidae. It contains three species. It was originally described as a monotypic genus containing only Aphyodite grammica, which is endemic to the Essequibo River basin in Guyana; however, two more species were described in 2017: Aphyodite apiaka from the Solimões river basin and Aphyodite tupebas from the Madeira river basin.[1]
