Menni INTRODUCCIÓN En la presente lista bibliográfica fueron recopiladas las referencias sobre los peces continentales de la Argentina, del período comprendido entre mediados del siglo XVIII y fines del año 2005. Incluye las listas bibliográficas publicadas durante los años 1981 a 2004, y las citas no mencionadas en ellas. Se incluyeron el ISSN o ISBN según correspondiera, la abreviatura oficial y el lugar de origen de las publicaciones. En algunos casos, los ISSN, las abreviaturas de los nombres de las publicaciones o su procedencia, mencionados en los catálogos, no coinciden con los de la home page de la publicación. Una bibliografía puede ser muy rica y aún estar incompleta. Requiere de sus lectores algún interés histórico, y aún un interés profundo por su tema. Ante una bibliografía, muchos investigadores preferirían no encontrar algunas referencias, y de hecho, muchas son oportunamente olvidadas. Por no saber como hacerlo, o por menosprecio, estas listas raramente son citadas en los trabajos, aunque sobre algunos temas en particular, sería realmente difícil formarse una idea si las bibliografías no existieran. Aún desde el comienzo es complicado precisar un criterio de inclusiones. Por ejemplo, gran parte de la ictiofauna Argentina se encuentra también en Brasil. ¿Justifica esto incluir informes perdidos sobre artes de pesca en una cuenca distante? ¿Deben los clásicos, que todo el mundo conoce y el que se inicia encontrará sin dificultad, ser incluidos? Aún a un grupo que se dedicara full time a este trabajo, le sería difícil verificar la precisión de las citas antiguas, en las que fechas y autoría cambian según la investigación histórica. En una bibliografía más o menos general, la perfección atenta contra la publicación. Sin embargo, pensamos que es conveniente hacerlas. Una mirada a este volumen, muestra la enorme cantidad de desarrollos en muchos temas, y la regla que uno de nosotros ha mencionado desde hace tiempo: siempre hay más publicado sobre un tema de lo que uno cree. La sospecha de que con sólo mirar lo que está hecho, muchos subsidios podrían utilizarse para algo más útil que algunas evaluaciones repetidas de recursos o biodiversidad, es un poco pesimista y no haremos perder trabajos insistiendo en eso. Cada generación elige sus metas, su propia base epistemológica, sus trabajos preferidos y los que desecha. Aún en trabajos perdidos o de mala calidad, es posible encontrar datos valiosos. Ningún proyecto, por mejor diseñado que esté, podrá mostrar en el presente los organismos que vivían en el pasado en un lugar en el que las condiciones han cambiado, o lo hará en términos de otra disciplina. En los temas aplicados la información del pasado puede ser importantísima. Aún en una disciplina tan conservadora como la nomenclatura, los cambios pueden ser exasperantes; no pueden serlo menos en las que intrínsecamente, como la ecología, es lo que estudian. Para dar una idea más precisa del desarrollo de la ictiología en la Argentina, esta lista podría ir acompañada de una apreciación crítica. Entendemos que una tarea así exige un trabajo diferente, de cierta magnitud y con no pocos elementos históricos. Aunque tiene deficiencias, la ictiología argentina constituye una acumulación de conocimientos de considerable calidad y pertinencia para la historia natural de América del Sur. Dejamos a los lectores que cada uno haga la suya. INTRODUCTION For the present list, references on freshwater fishes of Argentina were compiled from the period between middle XVIII Century and the end of the year 2005. It includes previous lists published during 1981 to 2004, and references not mentioned therein. The ISSN o ISBN numbers were included, as well as the official abbreviations and the place of origin of the periodicals. In some cases, these data as quoted in catalogs, do not agree with those in the home page of the publication. A bibliography may be very rich and anyway never complete. It requires from its readers some historic interest and indeed a deep interest on his (her) subject. Browsing a bibliography, many researchers would prefer not to find some references, and in fact, sometimes they forget some of them. Not imagining how to do it, or because people do not concede importance to them, bibliographic lists are rarely quoted in papers, though some subjects would be rather difficult to understand if list of publications would not exist. Even from the beginning, it is difficult to precise a criterion of inclusions. For example, many Argentine fishes occur also in Brazil. Does this justify the inclusion of grey reports on a distant basin? Should classic works, that everybody knows and are easily found, be included? Is near impossible, even for a group dedicated full time to this work, to verify the precision of old citations, whose dates and authorship change according to authorities and historical research. In a more or less general bibliography, completeness is against publication. Nevertheless, we think that is convenient to prepare these lists. A look at this volume shows the enormous developments in many subjects, and the rule that one of us mentioned long ago: there are always more papers on any subject than one suspects. Looking at what has already been done raises the suspicion that many grants could be used for something more useful than repeated evaluations of biodiversity or resources. This is a bit pessimistic, and we do not want to erase working opportunities. Each generation chooses its targets, its own epistemological base, its preferred papers and those that rejects. Even in lost or bad quality papers, the possibility of finding valuable information exists. No project, whatever the appropriateness of its design, could show at present which organisms lived in the past in a place where environmental conditions have changed, or it will do it in terms of another discipline. In applied subjects, information from the past can be very important. Even in a conservative discipline as nomenclature, changes can be exasperating. They are not lesser in those like ecology, where change itself is studied. To provide a more precise idea of the development of ichthyology in Argentina, this list could be accompanied by a critical appreciation. We understood that such an aim requires a different work, with no few historical elements and of certain magnitude. In spite of some deficiencies, Argentine ichthyology, resulting from collaboration of both local and foreign people, constitutes a bulk of knowledge of considerable quality and pertinence for the natural history of South America. We leave each reader to make his (or her) own evaluation. The authors López, H. L.; R. C. Menni; R. A. Férriz 1 ProBiota, FCNyM, UNLP J. Ponte Gómez & M. V.

C. de Pinna1, José Luiz Helmer2, Heraldo A. Britski1 and Leandro Rodrigues Nunes2 A new species of the formerly monotypic genus Trichogenes is described from a high-altitude stream of the rio Itapemirim system, an isolated Atlantic drainage in the State of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil. Trichogenes claviger, new species, differs from all other trichomycterids by the sexually dimorphic posterior process of the opercle, much elongated in males; the terminal mouth; the deeply bifurcated anterior neural spines and the presence of a large anterodorsal claw-like process on the neural arches of the anterior four free vertebrae. The new species also differs from its only congener, T. longipinnis, by a number of additional traits, including the the lack of branched anal-fin rays in specimens of any size; the broader than long posterior nostril; the deeper head (head depth 72.9-86.6% HL); the presence of a fine dark line along the base of the anal fin; the lack of dark spots on cheeks; the shape of the interopercle; the presence of odontodes on a bony expansion on the posterodorsal margin of the interopercle; the fewer vertebrae (35); the absence of an antorbital; and the fewer pleural ribs (eight). Small juveniles of the new species are also strikingly different from those of all other Trichomycteridae, including T. longipinnis, having a very large lateral eye, an upturned mouth, and compressed head.

    Neotropical Ichthyology, 2(2):61-74, 2004 Copyright © 2004 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Trichomycterus maracaya, a new catfish from the upper rio Paraná, southeastern Brazil (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae), with notes on the T. brasiliensis species-complex Flávio A. Bockmann* and Ivan Sazima** Trichomycterus maracaya, a new species of Trichomycteridae, is described from a streamlet in the upper rio Paraná, Poços de Caldas, State of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. The following putative autapomorphies distinguishes T. maracaya from congeneric species: 1) row of lateral blotches not forming a stripe at any phase during ontogeny; 2) superficial layer of pigmentation of juveniles and large (presumably adults) specimens consisting solely of scattered chromatophores. Furthermore, the new species is characterized by a combination of yellow ground color in life and mottled pattern formed by small to medium-sized, brown, irregularly-coalescent, well-defined deeper-lying blotches, and more superficial dots on the body. Trichomycterus maracaya is assigned to the T. brasiliensis species-complex (which includes T. brasiliensis, T. iheringi, T. mimonha, T. potschi, T. vermiculatus, and several undescribed species apparently endemic to the main river basins draining the Brazilian Shield) based on the presence of: 1) blotches in four longitudinal rows of deeper-lying pigmentation on the trunk large, horizontally-elongated, and well-defined; 2) pectoral fin with I+5-6 rays; 3) separation between the anterior and posterior cranial fontanels by the primordial epiphyseal cartilaginous bar being present only in larger specimens; and 4) pelvic-fin bases very close to each other, sometimes in contact. Trichomycterus maracaya, uma espécie nova de Trichomycteridae, é descrita de exemplares obtidos num riacho do alto rio Paraná, Poços de Caldas, Estado de Minas Gerais, sudeste do Brasil.

  • A New Species of the Neotropical Catfish Genus Trichomycterus (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) Representing a New Body Shape for the Family
    Copeia 2008, No. 2, 273–278 A New Species of the Neotropical Catfish Genus Trichomycterus (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) Representing a New Body Shape for the Family Wolmar Benjamin Wosiacki1 and Ma´rio de Pinna2 Trichomycterus crassicaudatus is described as a new species from the Rio Iguac¸u basin in southern Brazil. The new species has an exceptionally deep posterior region of the body (caudal peduncle depth 22.8–25.4% SL), resulting in an overall shape which distinguishes it at once from all other members of the Trichomycteridae. The caudal fin of the species is broad-based and forked, a shape also distinguishing it from all other species in the family. A number of autapomorphic modifications of T. crassicaudatus are associated with the deepening of the caudal region, including an elongation of the hemal and neural spines of the vertebrae at the middle of the caudal peduncle. Phylogenetic relationships of the new species are yet unresolved, but it shares a similar color pattern and a thickening of caudal-fin procurrent rays with T. stawiarski, a poorly-known species also from the Rio Iguac¸u basin. Coloration and body shape also include similarities with T. lewi from Venezuela. HE genus Trichomycterus is the largest in the the ninth species of Trichomycterus recorded for the Rio family Trichomycteridae, with approximately 100 Iguac¸u Basin above the Iguac¸u waterfalls (the others being T. T nominal species and probably numerous others stawiarski, T. castroi, T. naipi, T. papilliferus, T. mboycy, T. still undescribed. The genus is not demonstrably a mono- taroba, T. plumbeus, and T.

  • Teleostei: Siluriformes) Inferred from Ultraconserved Elements Luz E
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Phylogenomic analysis of trichomycterid catfshes (Teleostei: Siluriformes) inferred from ultraconserved elements Luz E. Ochoa 1,2*, Aléssio Datovo2, Carlos DoNascimiento 3, Fabio F. Roxo1, Mark H. Sabaj4, Jonathan Chang5, Bruno F. Melo1, Gabriel S. C. Silva1, Fausto Foresti1, Michael Alfaro5 & Claudio Oliveira1 The family Trichomycteridae is one of the most diverse groups of freshwater catfshes in South and Central America with eight subfamilies, 41 genera and more than 300 valid species. Its members are widely distributed throughout South America, reaching Costa Rica in Central America and are recognized by extraordinary anatomical specializations and trophic diversity. In order to assess the phylogenetic relationships of Trichomycteridae, we collected sequence data from ultraconserved elements (UCEs) of the genome from 141 specimens of Trichomycteridae and 12 outgroup species. We used a concatenated matrix to assess the phylogenetic relationships by Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) searches and a coalescent analysis of species trees. The results show a highly resolved phylogeny with broad agreement among the three distinct analyses, providing overwhelming support for the monophyletic status of subfamily Trichomycterinae including Ituglanis and Scleronema. Previous relationship hypotheses among subfamilies are strongly corroborated, such as the sister relationship between Copionodontinae and Trichogeninae forming a sister clade to the remaining trichomycterids and the intrafamilial clade TSVSG (Tridentinae-Stegophilinae-Vandelliinae- Sarcoglanidinae-Glanapteryginae). Monophyly of Glanapteryginae and Sarcoglanidinae was not supported and the enigmatic Potamoglanis is placed outside Tridentinae. Unraveling the relationships of major sections of the Tree of Life is one of the most daunting challenges of the evolutionary biology. Massively parallel DNA sequencing (so-called Next-gen sequencing) is a promising tool that is helping to resolve the interrelationships of longstanding problematic taxa1–4.

This species represents the norther- nmost occurrence of the subfamily yet known and is a relictual population, apparently restricted to an underground sector of the stream and its immediate downstream exit. The new species can be readily recognized by the combination of the presence of opercular odontodes, the mostly uniform coloration of the body, and the lack of a free orbital rim. Despite several troglo- morphic traits shared between the new species and Glaphyropoma spinosum, the two species are not closest relatives and all such similarities are convergent adaptations to the subterranean habitat. A CT-Scan study of the holotype of the new species is presented and allows a view into the details of copionodontine anatomy with unprecedented clarity. Keywords: Chapada Diamantina, Endemism, Rio Paraguaçu, Systematics, Taxonomy. Uma nova espécie de Copionodon (Copionodontinae) é descrita do riacho do Mosquito, tributário do rio Santo Antônio, bacia do rio Paraguaçu, Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brasil. Essa espécie representa a ocorrência mais ao norte da subfamília até então conhecida como uma população relictual, aparentemente restrita a um setor subterrâneo do riacho e sua saída à jusante.

  • Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) from the Upper São Francisco River Basin (MG
    © 2015 The Japan Mendel Society Cytologia 80(1): 25–29 Cytogenetics of Trichomycterus brasiliensis (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) from the Upper São Francisco River Basin (MG) Daniel Luis Zanella Kantek*, Wellington Adriano Moreira Peres and Orlando Moreira-Filho Laboratório de Biodiversidade Molecular e Citogenética, Departamento de Genética e Evolução, Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, CEP 13566–430, São Carlos, SP, Brazil Received July 7, 2014; accepted September 30, 2014 Summary Trichomycteridae is a family of small catfish which is widely distributed throughout Southern Central America and South America. Specimens of Trichomycterus brasiliensis collected in the upper São Francisco River Basin in Brasil were studied cytogenetically. All individuals presented 2n=54 chromosomes, including 34 metacentric, 18 submetacentric and 2 subtelocentric chromo somes. A secondary constriction was observed in the interstitial region of the short arm of the chromosome pair number 20, coinciding with the NOR and 18S rDNA. The first metacentric pair is considerably larger than the second metacentric pair and the NORs occur in the pericentromeric position of the short arm of a large submetacentric pair, allowing to place this species in one of the cis-Andean groups already identified of Trichomycterus. Key words C-banding, NOR-banding, Fish, 18S, Trichomycterus brasiliensis. Trichomycteridae is a monophyletic group composed of eight subfamilies, 41 genera and approximately 207 species (Ferraris 2007). Seven subfamilies are demonstrably monophyletic groups, but Trichomycterinae is the largest and clearly a polyphyletic group of Trichomycteridae (Wosiacki 2002). The Trichomycterus genus, touted as not monophyletic (de Pinna 1989), is the richest and most widely distributed of Trichomycteridae family, with 113 valid species spread throughout South and Central America, on both sides of the Andes (de Pinna and Wosiacki 2003, Ferraris 2007).

  • Natural History of Trichogenes Longipinnis, a Threatened Trichomycterid Catfish Endemic to Atlantic Forest Streams in Southeast Brazil
    49 Ichthyol. Explor. Freshwaters, Vol. 15, No. 1, pp. 49-60, 4 figs., 1 tab., March 2004 © 2004 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany – ISSN 0936-9902 Natural history of Trichogenes longipinnis, a threatened trichomycterid catfish endemic to Atlantic forest streams in southeast Brazil Ivan Sazima* The natural history of the threatened trichomycterid catfish Trichogenes longipinnis is reported here. This catfish dwells in pools beneath small waterfalls in steep hill streams flowing over rocky and sandy substrates. The spotted colour pattern differs consistently between stream populations, an indication of genetic differentiation. Contrast- ing with most trichomycterids (bottom-dwelling and nocturnal), T. longipinnis is nektonic and active both during daytime and at night, with juvenile and small adults being more active at daytime than large adults. This catfish uses visual, tactile, and chemo-sensory orientation to feed on bottom-dwelling aquatic and terrestrial insects in the water column or on the surface. Trichogenes longipinnis is restricted to steep hill stream stretches, and is absent in streams on gently sloping terrain dominated by the characid Astyanax sp. The catfish possibly developed, or retained, its characin-like role (diurnal, nektonic, and insectivorous) in allopatry with this more widespread tetra. Trichogenes longipinnis qualifies for the Vulnerable VU B1+2bc status according to the most recent IUCN criteria. Introduction available information is restricted to short com- ments on habitat and/or diet (e.g., Costa & Bock- Basic natural history features have only been mann, 1994; Nico & de Pinna, 1996; de Pinna, described for a few species within the diversified 1998; de Pinna & Winemiller, 2000).

Acuática Nº 1, 1981 y N° 3, 1982, Sipl.). A través de opiniones publicadas sobre la primera entrega (Copeia, 1983 (1): 284; Trop. Fish Hobb., April, 1982: 53), los autores confirmaron su impresión sobre la utilidad de estas compilaciones, ya que aparen temente, de otra mane- ra, una porción considerable de la producción ictiológica del área del Plata per- manecería inaccesible para muchos sectores. Los criterios que sustentan la in- clusión de los trabajos son los señalados en 1981. Se incluyen los artículos posteriores a 1982 referidos a material argentino y los de índole general que se consideran pertinentes. Los anteriores a esa fecha sólo se indican cuando no figuran en Ringuelet et al., 1967. Se mencionan las especies citadas, salvo cuando figuran directamente en el título o su número es excesivo. Entendemos que de esta forma aumenta considerablemente la utilidad de la lista, sobre todo en el caso de las obras de difícil obtención. 3 Bibliografía de los peces de agua dulce de Argentina y Uruguay, Suplemento 1986 4 Biología Acuática, 9, 1987 AGRADECIMIENTOS Los compiladores agradecen a la Dirección de Recursos Naturales y Ecología de la Provincia de Buenos Aires que facilitó la publicación de este trabajo, y a todos aquellos que enviaron información y apoyaron esta iniciativa.

  • The First Subterranean Copionodontine Catfish and the First Occurrence of Opercular Odontodes in the Subfamily (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae)
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 6(3):301-306, 2008 Copyright © 2008 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia A new species of Glaphyropoma: the first subterranean copionodontine catfish and the first occurrence of opercular odontodes in the subfamily (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae) Maria Elina Bichuette1, Mario César Cardoso de Pinna2 and Eleonora Trajano3 A new species of the rare copionodontine genus Glaphyropoma is described from subterranean waters in the Diamantina Plateau, Bahia State, central northeastern Brazil. This is the first troglomorphic species in the subfamily Copionodontinae. It is distinguished from all other copionodontines by the presence of opercular odontodes, and further distinguished from its only congener, G. rodriguesi, by the reduction of dark integumentary pigmentation. The new species shares the single synapomorphy previously proposed for Glaphyropoma, the marked narrowing of the first hypobranchial and indirect character evidence also supports its inclusion in the genus. The presence of opercular odontodes in the new species, in combination with a reviewed hypothesis of sister group relationship between Copionodontinae and Trichogeninae, indicate that the absence of opercular odontodes in previously-known copionodontines is secondary, rather than primitive. Uma nova espécie do raro gênero de Copionodontinae Glaphyropoma é descrita de águas subterrâneas da Chapada Diamantina, estado da Bahia, região central do Nordeste Brasileiro. Esta é a primeira espécie troglomórfica na subfamília Copionodontinae. Distingue-se de todos os outros Copionodontinae pela presença de odontódeos operculares, e de seu único congênere, G. rodriguesi, também pela redução de pigmentação tegumentar. A nova espécie apresenta a única sinapomorfia previamente proposta para Glaphyropoma, um estreitamento acentuado do primeiro hipobranquial e evidência indireta de outros caracteres também suportam sua inclusão no gênero.
