Apistogramma barlowi sp. n. is separated from all other Apistogramma species by the combination of over- proportionally large head and jaws, in males lyrate caudal-fi n horizontally divided in two colour zones, extended fi rst mem- branes of the dorsal fi n, a distinct breast band in basal part of vertical bar 2 and posterior lateral spot in females, missing caudal peduncle spot, and, unique in Apistogramma, facultative biparental mouth-breeding. Apistogramma barlowi sp. n. is a representative of the Apistogramma-cacatuoides-complex living in small brooks.

Apistogramma kullanderi is tentatively allocated to the A. regani lineage, although some characteristics (e. g., large body size) are more consistent with members the A. steindachneri lineage. Apistogramma kullanderi is endemic to an upland watershed isolated by large waterfalls and depauperate of cichlid diversity. Under those conditions, we speculate that ecological opportunities, reduced competition and sexual selection contributed to the evolution of large body size in A. kullanderi.

President Hanken plans to move blanket acceptance of all reports included in this book that cover society business for 2009 and 2010 (in part). The book includes the ballot information for the 2010 elections (Board of Governors and Annual Business Meeting). Governors can ask to have items exempted from blanket approval. These exempted items will be acted upon individually. We will also act individually on items exempted by the Executive Committee. Please remember to bring this booklet with you to the meeting. I will bring a few extra copies to Providence. Please contact me directly (email is best - [email protected]) with any questions you may have. Please notify me if you will not be able to attend the meeting so I can share your regrets with the Governors. I will leave for Providence (via Boston on 4 July 2010) so try to contact me before that date if possible.

  • “CICLÍDEO-ANÃO AMAZÔNICO”, Apistogramma Cacatuoides
    REPRODUÇÃO DO “CICLÍDEO-ANÃO AMAZÔNICO”, Apistogramma cacatuoides , HOEDEMAN, 1951 (PERCIFORMES: CICHLIDAE) EM LABORATÓRIO* Fillipe Caetano Marcassi ALVES 1; Nilton Eduardo Torres ROJAS 2; Elizabeth ROMAGOSA 3 RESUMO Apistogramma cacatuoides pertence à família Cichlidae, é nativo da Bacia Amazônica e atualmente explorado pela pesca extrativista. Devido ao padrão de coloração do macho, é uma espécie bem valorizada como peixe ornamental. O experimento foi realizado no laboratório do Instituto de Pesca - APTA/SAA/SP. Inicialmente 12 casais foram mantidos individualmente em aquários (Fase 1). Procurou-se caracterizar aspectos sobre a reprodução relativos a: 1) idade da primeira desova; 2) número de posturas de ovos; 3) número de ovos liberados; 4) sobrevivência das larvas com 15 dias de vida e 5) proporção entre os sexos. As posturas foram realizadas em abrigos, onde a fêmea cuidava dos ovos e larvas até se estas se tornarem livre natantes. As larvas, com 15 dias de vida, foram separadas dos pais, transferidas para outros aquários (Fase 2) e mantidas até a fase juvenil para se verificar a proporção entre os sexos e a taxa de sobrevivência. A temperatura, pH, condutividade, alcalinidade, cálcio e oxigênio dissolvido da água dos aquários dos reprodutores foram monitorados. A primeira desova ocorreu, em média, com 214,7 ± 30,6 dias de vida ; as fêmeas realizaram entre 1 e 12 posturas, liberando de 95 a 1410 ovos durante 36 meses de experimento. Após 15 dias de vida, a taxa de sobrevivência média das larvas foi de 34% e a proporção entre os sexos dos juvenis foi de 1,6 fêmea: 1 macho. A piscicultura de A.

Extremely similar forms and intraspecific polychromatism present challenges for the taxonomy of some of these groups. Several species complexes have a largely unknown origin and unresolved evolutionary processes. Dwarf cichlids of the genus Apistogramma, comprising more than a hundred species, exhibit intricate taxonomic and biogeographic patterns, with both allopatric and sympatric distributions. However, karyotype evolution and the role of chromosomal changes in Apistogramma are still unknown. In the present study, nine South American Apistogramma species were analyzed using conventional cytogenetic methods and the mapping of repetitive DNA sequences [18S rDNA, 5S rDNA, and (TTAGGG)n] by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
