ZooKeys 881: 53–89. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.881.32055 Abstract This study presents an extensive review of published and unpublished occurrence records of fish species in the Rio Negro drainage system within the Brazilian territory. The data was gathered from two main sources: 1) litterature compilations of species occurrence records, including original descriptions and re- visionary studies; and 2) specimens verification at the INPA fish collection. The results reveal a rich and diversified ichthyofauna, with 1,165 species distributed in 17 orders (+ two incertae sedis), 56 families, and 389 genera. A large portion of the fish fauna (54.3% of the species) is composed of small-sized fishes < 10 cm in standard length.

  • Review of the Loricariid Catfish Genus Aphanotorulus and Redescription of A
    253 Ichthyol. Explor. Freshwaters, Vol. 8, No.3, pp. 253-262, 6 figs. 2 tabs., February 1998 © 1998 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, Miinchen, PRG - ISSN 0936-9902 Review of the loricariid catfish genus Aphanotorulus and redescription of A. unicolor (Teleostei: Siluriformes) Jonathan W. Armbruster* Geographic variation within the loricariid genus Aphanotorulus was assessed and two species are considered valid, A. ammophilus and A. unicolor. Aphanotorulus chaparae, A. frankei, A. madeirae, A. micropunctatus, and A. popoi are synonyms of A. unicolor. Aphanotorulus ammophilus occurs in the Orinoco drainage while A. unicolor is found in the Rios Japura, Napo, Marafion, Ucayali, Jurua, Purus, and Madeira of the Amazon drainage and is variable across its range. It is hypothesized that the A. ammophilus and A. unicolor speciated allopatrically after Orinoco and Amazon became separated 5 MYA. Variacion geogrMica en el genero loricariid Aphanotorulus fue valorada y dos especies son consideradas validas, A. ammophilus y A. unicolor. Aphanotorulus chaparae, A. frankei, A. madeirae, A. micropunctatus, y A. popoi son sinonimos de A. unicolor. Aphanotorulus ammophilus ocurre en la cuenca del Rio Orinoco rnientras A. unicolor se encuentra en Rios Japura, Napo, Marafion, Ucayali, Jurua, Purus, y Madeira de la cuenca del Rio Amazonas y es variable a traves de su extension. La hypotesis es hecha que A. ammophilus y A. unicolor fueron separados por razones geogrMicas despues que los Rios Orinoco y Amazonas se separaron hace 5 rnillones de ai\os.

Breeding males have elongated odontodes on the lateral plates, a Aphanotorulus is a small genus of Loricariidae trait shared with some Hypostomus ~ lsorinelor­ (the suckermouth armored catfishes) that is close­ icaria.
