Boulengerella cuiveri, commonly known as the bicuda, is a species of pike-characin in the family Ctenoluciidae. The fish is named in honor of French naturalist and zoologist Georges Cuvier (1769–1832), because he was first to accurately diagnose the family Salmones, which at that time included all characiform fishes.
