The savanna tetra, Hyphessobrycon stegemanni, is a characid from the middle rio Tocantins and rio Araguaia basins in central Brazil. In the hobby its name has often been misapplied to Hemigrammus ataktos, since both occur in the Tocantins and have a dark lateral stripe. Its range lies almost entirely in the cerrado, the tropical wooded grassland of central Brazil.
