E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 2División Zoología Vertebrados, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, UNLP, Paseo del Bosque, 1900 La Plata, Argentina. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Two new species of Australoheros Říčan and Kullander are described. Australoheros ykeregua sp. nov. is described from the tributaries of the río Uruguay in Misiones province, Argentina. Australoheros angiru sp. nov. is described from the tributaries of the upper rio Uruguai and middle rio Iguaçu in Brazil. The two new species are not closely related, A. yke- regua is the sister species of A. forquilha Říčan and Kullander, while A. angiru is the sister species of A. minuano Říčan and Kullander. The diversity of the genus Australoheros is reviewed using morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses. These analyses suggest that the described species diversity of the genus in the coastal drainages of SE Brazil is overestimated and that many described species are best undestood as representing cases of intraspecific variation. The dis- tribution patterns of Australoheros species in the Uruguay and Iguazú river drainages point to historical connections be- tween today isolated river drainages (the lower río Iguazú with the arroyo Urugua–í, and the middle rio Iguaçu with the upper rio Uruguai). -

Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary,, Route 1208, Greate Road, Gloucester Point VA 23062, USA * correspondence to [email protected] SUUMMARY A non-native cichlid fish firstly repo rted in Portugal in 1940 was originally identified as Cichlasoma facetum (Jenyns 1842) based on specimens reported from “Praia de Mira" (Vouga drainage, northwestern Portugal). Currently, the species is known only from three southern Portuguese river drainages, namely Sado, Arade and Gua- diana, and no other record has been made from Praia de Mira or the Vouga drainage since the original record. The genus Cichlasoma has since suffered major taxonomic revisions: C. facetum has been conssidered a species-complex and proposed as the new genus Australoheros, including many species. Given the currennt taxonomic re- arrangement of the C. facetum species group, we performed a taxonomic re- evaluation of species identity of this non-native cichlid in Portuguese drainages us- ing morphological and molecular analyses. Morphological data coollected on speci- mens sampled in the Sado river drainages confirmed the identification as Australo- heros facetus. -

PROCEEDINGS OF THE BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON 115(3):546-563. 2002. Paretroplus dambabe, a new cichlid fish (Teleostei: Cichlidae) from northwestern Madagascar, with a discussion on the status of P. petiti John S. Sparks Division of Vertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024-5192, U.S.A., e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. —Paretroplus dambabe, n. sp., is described from Lake Kinkony, northwestern Madagascar. The new species is distinguished from congeners in Hfe and preservation by light yellowish-oUve body coloration in combination with a series of 6-7 vertical charcoal bars on the flanks, a blunt head profile, body depth not exceeding 57.1%SL, and uniform dark charcoal-gray or black fins. Paretroplus dambabe is further distinguished from P. petiti, a species to which it has been mistakenly referred for decades, by overall pigmentation pattern (light yellow-olive vs. dark brown), the presence of bright red pigmen- tation on the flanks in life, a prominent vertical barring pattern, and a shallower body.

Cytogenetics of Gymnogeophagus Setequedas (Cichlidae: Geophaginae), with Comments on Its Geographical Distribution
Neotropical Ichthyology, 15(2): e160035, 2017 Journal homepage: www.scielo.br/ni DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20160035 Published online: 26 June 2017 (ISSN 1982-0224) Copyright © 2017 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Printed: 30 June 2017 (ISSN 1679-6225) Cytogenetics of Gymnogeophagus setequedas (Cichlidae: Geophaginae), with comments on its geographical distribution Leonardo M. 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. Keywords: Chromosomes, Conservation, Iguaçu River, Karyotype, Paraná River. Fornecemos dados citogenéticos para a espécie ameaçada Gymnogeophagus setequedas, e o primeiro registro da espécie coletado no rio Iguaçu, na área de preservação ambiental do Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, a qual é uma área de ocorrência inesperada para esta espécie. Verificamos em G. setequedas 2n = 48 cromossomos (4sm + 24st + 20a) e heterocromatina presente nas regiões centroméricas e pericentroméricas, as quais indicam caracteres conservados em Geophagini. -

Reproductive Characteristics of Characid Fish Species (Teleostei
Reproductive characteristics of characid fish species (Teleostei... 469 Reproductive characteristics of characid fish species (Teleostei, Characiformes) and their relationship with body size and phylogeny Marco A. Azevedo Setor de Ictiologia, Museu de Ciências Naturais, Fundação Zoobotânica do Rio Grande do Sul, Rua Dr. Salvador França, 1427, 90690-000 Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. ([email protected]) ABSTRACT. In this study, I investigated the reproductive biology of fish species from the family Characidae of the order Characiformes. I also investigated the relationship between reproductive biology and body weight and interpreted this relationship in a phylogenetic context. The results of the present study contribute to the understanding of the evolution of the reproductive strategies present in the species of this family. Most larger characid species and other characiforms exhibit a reproductive pattern that is generally characterized by a short seasonal reproductive period that lasts one to three months, between September and April. This is accompanied by total spawning, an extremely high fecundity, and, in many species, a reproductive migration. Many species with lower fecundity exhibit some form of parental care. Although reduction in body size may represent an adaptive advantage, it may also require evolutionary responses to new biological problems that arise. In terms of reproduction, smaller species have a tendency to reduce the number of oocytes that they produce. Many small characids have a reproductive pattern similar to that of larger characiforms. On the other hand they may also exhibit a range of modifications that possibly relate to the decrease in body size and the consequent reduction in fecundity.
