Plasmodia of Henneguya unitaeniata sp. nov. were oval and whitish and were found surrounded by collagen fibers forming plasmodia wall between gill filaments on the gill arch. The spores were ellipsoidal with two similar polar capsules. Morphometric analysis showed a total spore mean length of 23.8 ± 1.5 μm, spore body mean length of 14.5 ± 0.7 μm, caudal appendage mean length of 10.3 ± 1.4 μm,thicknessmeanlengthof4.3±0.3μm, polar capsule mean length of 4.2 ± 0.5 μm, polar capsule mean width of 1.8 ± 0.3 μm, spore mean width of 4.8 ± 0.4 μm, and 4–5 polar filament coils. Phylogenetic analysis showed Henneguya unitaeniata sp. nov. as a basal species in a subclade formed by myxozoans that parasitize bryconid fishes. Keywords Erythrinidae . Histopathology .

  • Highlights Contrasting Karyotype Evolution Among Congeneric Species
    de Oliveira et al. Molecular Cytogenetics (2015) 8:56 DOI 10.1186/s13039-015-0161-4 RESEARCH Open Access Comparative cytogenetics in the genus Hoplias (Characiformes, Erythrinidae) highlights contrasting karyotype evolution among congeneric species Ezequiel Aguiar de Oliveira1,2, Luiz Antônio Carlos Bertollo1, Cassia Fernanda Yano1, Thomas Liehr3 and Marcelo de Bello Cioffi1* Abstract Background: The Erythrinidae fish family contains three genera, Hoplias, Erythrinus and Hoplerythrinus widely distributed in Neotropical region. Remarkably, species from this family are characterized by an extensive karyotype diversity, with 2n ranging from 39 to 54 chromosomes and the occurrence of single and/or multiple sex chromosome systems in some species. However, inside the Hoplias genus, while H. malabaricus was subject of many studies, the cytogenetics of other congeneric species remains poorly explored. In this study, we have investigated chromosomal characteristics of four Hoplias species, namely H. lacerdae, H. brasiliensis, H. intermedius and H. aimara. We used conventional staining techniques (C-banding, Ag-impregnation and CMA3 -fluorescence) as well as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with minor and major rDNA and microsatellite DNAs as probes in order to analyze the karyotype evolution within the genus. Results: All species showed invariably 2n = 50 chromosomes and practically identical karyotypes dominated only by meta- and submetacentric chromosomes, the absence of heteromorphic sex chromosomes, similar pattern of C-positive heterochromatin blocks and homologous Ag-NOR-bearing pairs. The cytogenetic mapping of five repetitive DNA sequences revealed some particular interspecific differences between them. However, the examined chromosomal characteristics indicate that their speciation was not associated with major changes in their karyotypes.

  • Check List of the Freshwater Fishes of Uruguay (CLOFF-UY)
    Ichthyological Contributions of PecesCriollos 28: 1-40 (2014) 1 Check List of the Freshwater Fishes of Uruguay (CLOFF-UY). Thomas O. Litz1 & Stefan Koerber2 1 Friedhofstr. 8, 88448 Attenweiler, Germany, [email protected] 2 Friesenstr. 11, 45476 Muelheim, Germany, [email protected] Introduction The purpose of this paper to present the first complete list of freshwater fishes from Uruguay based on the available literature. It would have been impossible to review al papers from the beginning of ichthyology, starting with authors as far back as Larrañaga or Jenyns, who worked the preserved fishes Darwin brought back home from his famous trip around the world. The publications of Nion et al. (2002) and Teixera de Mello et al. (2011) seemed to be a good basis where to start from. Both are not perfect for this purpose but still valuable sources and we highly recommend both as literature for the interested reader. Nion et al. (2002) published a list of both, the freshwater and marine species of Uruguay, only permitting the already knowledgeable to make the difference and recognize the freshwater fishes. Also, some time has passed since then and the systematic of this paper is outdated in many parts. Teixero de Mello et al. (2011) recently presented an excellent collection of the 100 most abundant species with all relevant information and colour pictures, allowing an easy approximate identification. The names used there are the ones currently considered valid. Uncountable papers have been published on the freshwater fishes of Uruguay, some with regional or local approaches, others treating with certain groups of fishes.

  • Chromosomes As Tools for Discovering Biodiversity – the Case of Erythrinidae Fish Family
    8 Chromosomes as Tools for Discovering Biodiversity – The Case of Erythrinidae Fish Family Marcelo de Bello Cioffi1, Wagner Franco Molina2, Roberto Ferreira Artoni3 and Luiz Antonio Carlos Bertollo1 1Universidade Federal de São Carlos 2Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte 3Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa Brazil 1. Introduction Biodiversity or biological diversity is the diversity of life, extant or extinct. All of the biodiversity found on Earth today consists of many millions of distinct biological species and is the product of more than 4 billion years of evolution. Although the origin of life has not been correctly determined by science, some evidence suggests that life may already have been well-established only a few hundred million years after the formation of the Earth. Estimates of the number of extant global macroscopic species vary from 2 million to 100 million, with a best estimate of approximately 13–14 million, and the vast majority is represented by insects. However, biodiversity is not evenly distributed; rather, it varies greatly across the globe as well as within regions. A “biodiversity hotspot” can be defined as a region with a high level of endemic species, and while they can be found all over the world, the majority of them are forest areas, and most are located in the tropics (Myers, 1988). In fact, it is not a coincidence that the world’s biodiversity hotspots are also the centers of evolutionary change for numerous species. Evolution produces biodiversity, and in turn, a more diverse biological environment creates more selective pressures, which drive evolution. The biodiversity of a specific region is often measured by determining the number of species found there.

Editor in charge: Uwe Fritz Abstract A new miniature species of the freshwater fsh genus Priocharax is described from the Rio Jamari, Rio Madeira drainage, Amazon basin. Priocharax varii sp. n. is the fourth species currently recognized in the genus and shares with the other three the presence of a conspicuous larval pectoral fn in adults, a fully toothed maxilla, a triangular pseudotympanum situated anterior to the ffth vertebra and a tiny size com- bined with a translucent body. The new species is diagnosed from congeners in having an adipose fn, a unique feature within Priocharax. Molecular identifcation of the new species and the other valid Priocharax species supports the morphological fndings.
