The only species in the genus is Oligobrycon microstomus, a species of which is endemic to Brazil, where it is found in the upper middle Paraíba do Sul River basin. This taxon has not been assigned to a particular family within the Characoidei and is considered to be incertae sedis, i.e. its taxonomic affinities are, as yet, unclear.[2] This fish has not been recorded since the holotype and paratype were collected in 1915.[1]
