KULLANDER Section of Vertebrate Zoology, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden Received 28 September 1981 Kullander, S. 0.1982. Cichlid fishes from the La Plata basin. Part IV. Review of the Apistogramma species, with description of a new species (Teleostei, Cichlidae).-Zool. Scr. 11: 307-313. Apistogramma inconspicua sp.n. is described from the Rio Candclaria in the Rio GuaporC drainage in Bolivia, and recorded also from Caceres on the Rio Paraguay in Brazil. The new species is closely related to the Paraguayan species A. commbrae (Regan) and an undescribed species in the GuaporC drainage system. These species share a specialized feature in the colour pattern, viz. an expanded vertical bar on the caudal peduncle which it confluent with the caudal spot. The now presumably complete record of Paraguayan Apistogramma species allows an analytical key to be given. Of the additional species, A. borellii (Regan) and A. rrifasciata (Eigenmann & Kennedy) represent two distinct lineages. Apistogramma pleurotaenia (Regan) is probably a La Plata basin species, although no localities are known, and its relationship remain obscure. The assemblage of Paraguayan Apistogramma species reflects the heterogeneity of the Paraguayan cichlid fauna as a whole. Sven 0. Kullander, Section of Vertebrate Zoology, Swedish Museum of Natural History, S-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden. Introduction This paper features a review, chiefly of the distribution and diagnostic characters, of the Paraguayan Apisto- gramma species. Special attention is called to a species already announced (Kullander 1980a, 1982a), but not yet described. It is of particular interest because of being both parapatric with and obviously closely related to the Paraguayan A. commbrae (Regan), and found in both the GuaporC and Paraguay river systems. The methods employed have been described in Kullander (1980a,b). Museum acronyms used are: AMNH (American Museum of Natural History, New York), ANSP (Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadel- phia), BMNH (British Museum (Nat.

Notes, taken in 1975, on three more specimens, from Caceres, indicate that these belong to A. inconspicua. The largest specimen, a male, 37.4 mm SL, differs somewhat from the type-material of A. inconspicua in having the lateral band extended to the tail spot. The soft dorsal and anal fins are produced, reaching backwards to about the end of the caudal fin. Two of the FMNH specimens have canals in the lower lateral line (two to four); all have 15 dorsal spines. (FMNH 54168. d,37.4 mm. Brasil, Est. Mato Grosso, R. Paraguaysystem, Caceres, 27 May 1909.

Paiz1, Lucas Baumgärtner2, Weferson J. da Graça1,3, Vladimir P. Margarido1,2 and Carla S. Pavanelli1,3 We provide cytogenetic data for the threatened species Gymnogeophagus setequedas, and the first record of that species collected in the Iguaçu River, within the Iguaçu National Park’s area of environmental preservation, which is an unexpected occurrence for that species. We verified a diploid number of 2n = 48 chromosomes (4sm + 24st + 20a) and the presence of heterochromatin in centromeric and pericentromeric regions, which are conserved characters in the Geophagini. The multiple nucleolar organizer regions observed in G. setequedas are considered to be apomorphic characters in the Geophagini, whereas the simple 5S rDNA cistrons located interstitially on the long arm of subtelocentric chromosomes represent a plesiomorphic character. Because G. setequedas is a threatened species that occurs in lotic waters, we recommend the maintenance of undammed environments within its known area of distribution.

  • Freshwater Fishes of Argentina: Etymologies of Species Names Dedicated to Persons
    Ichthyological Contributions of PecesCriollos 18: 1-18 (2011) 1 Freshwater fishes of Argentina: Etymologies of species names dedicated to persons. Stefan Koerber Friesenstr. 11, 45476 Muelheim, Germany, [email protected] Since the beginning of the binominal nomenclature authors dedicate names of new species described by them to persons they want to honour, mostly to the collectors or donators of the specimens the new species is based on, to colleagues, or, in fewer cases, to family members. This paper aims to provide a list of these names used for freshwater fishes from Argentina. All listed species have been reported from localities in Argentina, some regardless the fact that by our actual knowledge their distribution in this country might be doubtful. Years of birth and death could be taken mainly from obituaries, whereas those of living persons or publicly unknown ones are hard to find and missing in some accounts. Although the real existence of some persons from ancient Greek mythology might not be proven they have been included here, while the names of indigenous tribes and spirits are not. If a species name does not refer to a first family name, cross references are provided. Current systematical stati were taken from the online version of Catalog of Fishes.

  • Chromosome Differentiation Patterns During Cichlid Fish Evolution
    Poletto et al. BMC Genetics 2010, 11:50 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2156/11/50 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access ChromosomeResearch article differentiation patterns during cichlid fish evolution Andréia B Poletto1, Irani A Ferreira1, Diogo C Cabral-de-Mello1, Rafael T Nakajima1, Juliana Mazzuchelli1, Heraldo B Ribeiro1, Paulo C Venere2, Mauro Nirchio3, Thomas D Kocher4 and Cesar Martins*1 Abstract Background: Cichlid fishes have been the subject of increasing scientific interest because of their rapid adaptive radiation which has led to an extensive ecological diversity and their enormous importance to tropical and subtropical aquaculture. To increase our understanding of chromosome evolution among cichlid species, karyotypes of one Asian, 22 African, and 30 South American cichlid species were investigated, and chromosomal data of the family was reviewed. Results: Although there is extensive variation in the karyotypes of cichlid fishes (from 2n = 32 to 2n = 60 chromosomes), the modal chromosome number for South American species was 2n = 48 and the modal number for the African ones was 2n = 44. The only Asian species analyzed, Etroplus maculatus, was observed to have 46 chromosomes. The presence of one or two macro B chromosomes was detected in two African species. The cytogenetic mapping of 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) gene revealed a variable number of clusters among species varying from two to six. Conclusions: The karyotype diversification of cichlids seems to have occurred through several chromosomal rearrangements involving fissions, fusions and inversions. It was possible to identify karyotype markers for the subfamilies Pseudocrenilabrinae (African) and Cichlinae (American). The karyotype analyses did not clarify the phylogenetic relationship among the Cichlinae tribes.

At Conservation International (CI), we believe that there is one problem that surpasses all others in terms of importance because of its irreversibility, the extinction of biological diversity. Conservation efforts still receive only a tiny fraction of the resources, both human and financial, needed to get the job done. As a result of this, we must use available resources efficiently, applying them to those places with the highest concentrations of diversity that are at most immediate risk of disappearing. CI uses a strategic approach for setting conservation investment priorities. At a global level, we have targeted the “hotspots”, twenty-five areas that hold a third or more of all terrestrial diversity and are at a great risk. Our global priorities also focus on major tropical wilderness areas and the “mega-diversity” country concept, which highlights the importance of the national entities that harbor high biodiversity. We are now undertaking a series of priority-setting exercises for other major categories of ecosystems, among them marine systems, freshwater aquatic systems, deserts, and dry forests.

Jg. 36 H. 1/2 S. 145—162 Bonn, Mai 1985 Descriptions of new species of Apistogramma (Teleostei: Cichlidae) from the Rio Mamoré system in Bolivia by Ingo Koslowski Introduction With more than fourty valid and numerous undescribed species already known to scientists and aquarists, Apistogramma Regan is the largest genus of South American cichlids. Two species had already been known from the Rio Mamoré system in Bolivia. They were collected by Karl-Heinz Lüling in 1966, and incorrectly identified by Hermann Meinken as Apistogramma borellii (Regan) and Apistogramma amoena (Cope). Sven O. Kullander reexamined the specimens identified as Apistogramma borellii and described them as Apistogramma luelingi in 1976. I have reexamined the specimens identified as Apistogramma amoena and found them to represent another new species. It is conspecific with a single specimen more recently (Kullander 1983 a) figured but not named. Collections made by Horst Linke and Wolfgang Staeck in the summer of 1983 made available fresh material of this and another undescribed species from the Rio Mamoré system. This material forms the basis for the descriptions given below. Both species were figured in a popular book (Linke & Staeck 1984) and are likely to become distributed among aquarists. Methods Measurements were taken with a Mitutoyo calliper reading to 0.05 mm. Otherwise the methods are as described in Kullander (1980 b, c), but as I always get shorter measurements for snout length and check depth and longer measurements for caudal peduncle length in all specimens also measured by Kullander, those differences indicate slightly different manners of taking those measurements.
