Ontogeny and homology of the neural complex of otophysan Ostariophysi [PDF]
The development and homology of the neural complex in the ostariophysan subgroup Otophysi were studied, including for the first time representatives of all four major otophysan lineages. Previous hypotheses concerning the homology of the different elements of the neural complex have also been reviewed and these are discussed in light of our new ...

On a new species of the genus Moenkhausia Eigenmann (Ostariophysi: Characidae) [PDF]
A new species of the genus Moenkhausia is described from the middle portions of the Rio Tocantins and tentatively from the Rio Apure in Venezuela, Rio Orinoco drainage. It is diagnosed by the presence of a dark spot in the half proximal length of the upper caudal-fin lobe, and by the presence of a large, irregularly shaped humeral spot located above ...

The Distribution of the Fishes of the Order Ostariophysi [PDF]
The Ostariophysi are Teleostean Fishes in which the air bladder is connected with the internal ear by a chain of ossicles, the Weberian ossicles, which are modified elements of the anterior vertebrae. Although the order is a large and varied one it is undoubtedly natural, and its importance in Zoogeography arises from the fact that it is dominant in ...

SYSTEMATIC REVISION OF THE GENERA OF PANGASIIDAE (SILURIFORMES, OSTARIOPHYSI) [PDF]
The family Pangasiidae belongs to the suborder Siluroidei, order Siluriformes, and suborder Ostariophysi. Since the groups were established as Pangasiini Bleeker, 1858; its content and classification have been greatly changed. Judging from the literature, the main constraint to cultivate wild species and to optimize the production of cultured species ...

Overlooked biodiversity of mitochondrial lineages in Hemiodus (Ostariophysi, Characiformes)
AbstractHemiodus is the largest genus of the South American freshwater fish family Hemiodontidae, with 23 valid species. However, the species‐level diversity of Hemiodus remains uncertain since morphological studies have indicated additional species. Also, the phylogenetic relationships among species and species boundaries within this genus are still ...
