  * Ivanacara adoketa (Kullander & Prada-Pedreros, 1993) – Zebra acara
  * Ivanacara bimaculata (Eigenmann, 1912)
  
  Nannacara adoketa and Nannacara bimaculata were reassigned to the new genus Ivanacara. This change has not been recognized by FishBase, but it has been adopted by the Catalog of Fishes.
