  • Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History)
    A new catfish from Sierra Leone Gordon Jon Howes Zoology Department, British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD A collection of freshwater fishes from Sierra Leone made by Dr A. I. Payne contained three specimens of a previously undescribed dwarf catfish. At first sight these small fishes (33-5- 36 mm SL) were thought to be the juveniles of a Synodontis species, but closer examination showed many significant differences. Furthermore, dissection of two specimens revealed that they were adult females, having ripe ovaries. In overall morphology the new catfish appears closer to members of the Mochokidae sensu lato than to those of any other siluroid family, (see p. 168). The possibility that these fishes belonged to the dwarf mochokid genus Microsynodontis was dispelled when comparisons were made with species of that genus. MOCHOKIELLA gen. nov. Fishes of a small size with a shallow body (depth 25-5-27-9 of SL). Head broad (almost equal to its length) with dorsal profile sloped, snout rounded, ethmoid with narrow rostral process. Nostrils widely separated, the posterior situated midway between the anterior nostril and the orbital rim. Anterior nostril tubular. Mouth small, lower lip developed only at the corners of the mouth. Premaxillary teeth short and conical, in a broad patch. Dentary teeth like those on the premaxilla, set in a broad semi-crescentic band. Vomerine teeth absent. One pair of maxillary and two pairs of mandibular barbels. The maxillary barbel long, reaching to the tip of the cleithral process. Outer mandibular barbel extending to halfway along the cleithral process, the inner reaching to the base of the pectoral spine.

(2017) caught 1 individual of Epalzeorhynchos frenatum in the wild in Florida but within 500m of an aquaculture facility. According to Chapman et al. (1994), Epalzeorhynchos frenatum (listed as Labeo frenatus) was imported to the United States for the ornamental trade in 1992.

Three stations were sampled monthly from January 2010 to December 2011. The analysis covered individuals with a standard length ranging from 23.93 to 129.3 mm according to sampling stations, hydrological season and fish size. The preponderance index combining the numerical occurrence percentage and the weight percentage was calculated. The percentage of emptiness is 27%, fishes are the main preys consumed by Schilbe intermedius with a preponderance index equal to 64%. There was variation in diet according to the season and the specimens size. The correlation coefficient of Spearman showed that the proportions of the different foods vary according to the size of the specimens (rs = 0.42, p = 0.05).

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes)
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(3): 451-564, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20120027 Phylogenetic relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes) José L. O. Birindelli A phylogenetic analysis based on 311 morphological characters is presented for most species of the Doradidae, all genera of the Auchenipteridae, and representatives of 16 other catfish families. The hypothesis that was derived from the six most parsimonious trees support the monophyly of the South American Doradoidea (Doradidae plus Auchenipteridae), as well as the monophyly of the clade Doradoidea plus the African Mochokidae. In addition, the clade with Sisoroidea plus Aspredinidae was considered sister to Doradoidea plus Mochokidae. Within the Auchenipteridae, the results support the monophyly of the Centromochlinae and Auchenipterinae. The latter is composed of Tocantinsia, and four monophyletic units, two small with Asterophysus and Liosomadoras, and Pseudotatia and Pseudauchenipterus, respectively, and two large ones with the remaining genera. Within the Doradidae, parsimony analysis recovered Wertheimeria as sister to Kalyptodoras, composing a clade sister to all remaining doradids, which include Franciscodoras and two monophyletic groups: Astrodoradinae (plus Acanthodoras and Agamyxis) and Doradinae (new arrangement). Wertheimerinae, new subfamily, is described for Kalyptodoras and Wertheimeria. Doradinae is corroborated as monophyletic and composed of four groups, one including Centrochir and Platydoras, the other with the large-size species of doradids (except Oxydoras), another with Orinocodoras, Rhinodoras, and Rhynchodoras, and another with Oxydoras plus all the fimbriate-barbel doradids. Based on the results, the species of Opsodoras are included in Hemidoras; and Tenellus, new genus, is described to include Nemadoras trimaculatus, N.
