Ossubtus xinguense is a species of serrasalmine characin and is the only species of the genus Ossubtus. It has an unusual downturned mouth that gives the appearance of a beak. It originates from the Xingu River basin, but is restricted to the rapids area around Altamira City, Pará, Brazil. This species reaches 17.6 centimetres (6.9in) SL. The body is ovoid. The profile of the snout is blunt. In young fish, the mouth is terminal (pointing forward); however, as the fish grows, the mouth turns downward and becomes strictly ventral in individuals larger than 5 cm (2 in) SL. This gives the mouth a beak-like appearance.
