Review of the southern African slender stonebashers, genus Heteromormyrus Steindachner 1866 (Teleostei: Mormyridae), with description of six new species

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent molecular studies have advanced our knowledge of the taxonomic diversity and generic placement of the slender stonebashers, previously placed in the genus Hippopotamyrus, in southern Africa. These fishes were recently transferred to the genus Heteromormyrus whose range encompasses the Kwanza, Kunene, Okavango, Zambezi, Pungwe and Buzi ...

A new species of Peckoltia (Siluriformes, Loricariidae) from the rapids of the Rio Tocantins‐Araguaia basin, Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Here, we describe a new species of Peckoltia (Loricariidae; Hypostominae) from the rapids of the Rio Tocantins‐Araguaia basin, previously identified as Peckoltia vittata, using an integrative taxonomy approach. The new species is distinguished from congeners by ventral region presenting diffuse stripes on surface, not presenting spots or ...

New insights into Ituglanis (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) diversity in Bahia State, eastern Brazil: Description of a new species and conservation status reappraisal

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The northeastern Atlantic Forest of Brazil harbours a remarkable diversity of species of Trichomycteridae, many of which remain poorly understood. This study describes a new species of Ituglanis, endemic to the Ribeirão São Roque, a stream tributary of Rio Piabanha, an affluent of Rio Colônia basin, Bahia State, Brazil.

Morphological and molecular evidence reveals a new species of Characidium from the Ucayali‐Urubamba Piedmont, Peru, and novel molecular clades are proposed within the genus

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of Characidium is described from the Urubamba River basin, within the Ucayali‐Urubamba Piedmont ecoregion, Peru. The new species can be readily distinguished from all congeners, except Characidium cacah, Characidium chicoi, Characidium helmeri, Characidium mirim, Characidium nana, Characidium nupelia, Characidium sterbai ...

Lentipes ptasan, a new species of sicydiine goby (Teleostei: Gobioidei) from the Western Pacific, with a redescription of L. mindanaoensis

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Lentipes ptasan sp. nov. is described based on specimens collected from Taiwan and Mindanao Island. It is a large‐sized Lentipes species distinguished by several male‐specific characteristics, including an upper lip protruding beyond snout obviously, fewer premaxillary tricuspid teeth, two black lines running from the front of the eye through ...

A new South American darter (Crenuchidae: Characidium) from rivers draining the Northeastern Mata Atlantica Freshwater Ecoregion, Brazil: morphological and molecular evidence

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Characidium tupi, a new species from rivers draining the southern portion of the Northeastern Mata Atlantica Freshwater Ecoregion, is described. The new species can be distinguished from all congeners by its colour pattern, including 7–14 dark bars enlarged and more conspicuous on their ventralmost portion, resulting in a longitudinal series ...
