Two new species of eartheater have been described by Brazilian ichthyologists in the Tocantins River. The new Geophagus cichlid species have been named Geophagus neambi and Geophagus sveni.

Geophagus sveni has not yet been encountered in the aquarium trade, but Geophagus neambi may in fact be the species seen in the aquarium trade as Geophagus sp. “Aereos”.
