Etymology: Characidium: Diminutive of Charax, -akos = a fish without identification (Ref. 45335); summum: From the Latin summus, which means high, elevated, alluding to the high altitude where the species occurs, near Pico Tracoá, higher than 1100 m above sea level in the Serra dos Pacaás Novos (Ref. 104900).

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 13; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9; Vertebre: 36. Diagnosis: Characidium summus is a unique species among congeners by lacking an adipose fin and having a complete lateral line; can be further distinguished from congeners, including C. vestigipinne, that have complete lateral line and adipose fin absent, vestigial or reduced by the absence of dark bars or spots on head, body or fins, except for a dark blotch immediately on the rear of opercle, a narrow midlateral dark stripe (less than half scale deep), and a dark basicaudal spot (Ref. 104900).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
The rio Pacaás Novos is a black water river, with moderate water current and predominantly rocky bottom; specimens of C. summus were sampled in small puddles (1-4 m wide and 1.5 m deep) and laterally in the river backwaters (Ref. 104900).
