Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington PROC. BIOL. SOC. WASH. 107(4), 1994, pp. 160-111 DESCRIPTION OF MASTIGLANIS ASOPOS, A NEW PIMELODID CATFISH FROM NORTHERN BRAZIL, WITH COMMENTS ON PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS INSIDE THE SUBFAMILY RHAMDIINAE (SILURIFORMES: PIMELODIDAE) Flavio A. Bockmann Abstract. —Mastiglanis asopos, a new genus and species of the neotropical catfish family Pimelodidae, is described from the Amazon basin, and rio Capim and its adjacencies, in northern Brazil. Its monophyly is supported by various autapomorphies in external and internal morphology, such as the first dorsal- and pectoral-fin elements filamentous distally, and the presence ofa remarkable osseous process at the anterior portion of the premaxilla. Mastiglanis shares unambiguously all diagnostic features proposed for the subfamily Rhamdiinae, and also those that delimit a subset called the Nemuroglanis sub-clade. Eleven new synapomorphies are proposed to corroborate the monophyly of the latter group. Additional character evidence supports a hypothesis placing Mastigla- nis as the sister group of the remainder of the Nemuroglanis sub-clade. Resumo. —Mastiglanis asopos, um novo genero e especie da familia Pime- lodidae e descrito para a regiao norte brasileira (bacia Amazonica e rio Capim e arredores). Seu monofiletismo e indicado por varios caracteres apomorficos observaveis na morfologia externa e interna, dentre os quais destacam-se: os primeiros elementos ("espinhos") das nadadeiras dorsal e peitoral extrema- mente alongados e a presenga de um notavel processo osseo na regiao anterior da premaxila. Mastiglanis compartilha todos os caracteres diagnosticos da subfamilia Rhamdiinae, assim como, todos aqueles que definem um subgrupo mais restrito chamado ^^Nemuroglanis sub-clade."

ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-3746-6894. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Two new species of heptapterid catfish genus Cetopsorhamdia are described from close localities in western Brazil, at Chapada dos Parecis, an area with extremely high level of endemism. One species is from the upper Rio Madeira system, Rondônia State, and the other from the upper Rio Tapajós system, Mato Grosso State. The two species are diagnosed, among several other features, by their markedly distinctive color patterns, with the former having well-defined quadrangular marks in trunk flanks while the latter bearing irregular, vertical bars along the trunk. The monophyly of Cetopsorhamdia is discussed, with two putative synapomorphies being proposed to support the genus. Potentially informative morphological characters to resolve the internal relationships of the genus are presented and discussed. Despite the striking external differences between the two species herein described, they are found to likely form a clade.

Pimelodus pintado n. sp. is distinguished from congeners by the combination of its densely spotted pigmentation pattern with many small dots irregularly placed over flanks, head and all fins, and, when fresh, metallic golden background color, plus thick striated lips with prominent rictal folds, long snout, prominent upper jaw, anterior naris far from snout margin, narrow premaxillary tooth bands with rounded posterolateral corners, tooth- less prevomer and 22-26 gill rakers on first branchial arch. Pimelodus pintado is compared to other spotted species of Pimelodus including P. maculatus, P. heraldoi, P. absconditus, P. microstoma, P. mysteriosus, P. paranaensis, P. platicirris, P. ortmanni, P. britskii, P. fur, P. grosskopfii, P. navarroi, P. coprophagus and P. punctatus.

The sampling was conducted from 2012 to 2013 during the dry season. Fish were collected with dip nets and seine nets in 22 streams of 1st to 3rd order. Sampling resulted in 3035 specimens belong- ing to 117 species, 27 families and six orders. The most abundant species were Bryconops aff. melanurus, Hemigrammus belottii, and Hemigrammus analis. Four undescribed species were recognized, one of which is known only from the area of this study.
