Nine new species of Australohero from Southern Brazil are herein described: Australoheros austrani from rio Sao Joao basin; A. barbosae from rio Preto basin, rio Paraiba do Sul basin; A. ipatinguensis from rio Doce basin; A. macacuensis from rio Amcacu basin, A. macaensis from rio Macae basin, Amuriae from rio Muriae basin, rio Paraiba do Sul basin; A. paraibae from rio do Peixe basin, rio Paraiba do Sul basin; A. robustus from corrego da Areia basin, rio Paraiba do Sul basin; and A. saquarema from lagoa de Saquarema system. The new species are easily distinguished from their congeners from South Brazil, Northern Argentina and North Uruguay (except A. scitulus) by having 12 caudal vertebrae (vs. 13 or more). The new species are distinguished from A. scitulus and A. forquiha by having no dark marks on side of head (vs. dark marks present on side of head), and differ from A. ribeirae by meristic counts. the nine new species differ from each other by several meristic counts, some morphometric measurements, shape of the snout and color pattern. A new phylogeny of the genus is required, because when these new species from Southern Brazil are included into the groups proposed by Rican & Kullander (2006, 2008), the characters turns incongruent.
