The Business Newsletter of the American Killifish Association March 2019 VOL. 58 No. 3 NEW PUBLICATIONS: Austrolebias ephemerus (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae), a new annual fish from the upper Rio Paraguai basin, Brazilian Chaco. MATHEUS VIEIRA VOLCAN, FRANCISCO SEVERO-NETO. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/ zootaxa.4560.3.6 ABSTRACT: A new species of Austrolebias belonging to the A. bellottii species group is herein described from the Brazilian Chaco, Mato Grosso do Sul state, constituting the northernmost record of the genus in Brazil, as well as the first record of this genus on the left bank of the Rio Paraguai. The new species is distinguished from all other species of the A. bellottii group by the following combination of characters: pectoral fin posterior margin reaching vertical between base of 4th and 7th anal fin rays in females, a high number of gill rakers in the first branchial arch, a lower head Austrolebias ephemerus. From the paper. width in both sexes, and a small number of neuromasts in the preopercular series. Additionally, we provide information on ecology and the conservation status of the new species.

Published online at www.senckenberg.de/vertebrate-zoology on 15.vii.2014. Abstract A phylogenetic analysis combining available mitochondrial DNA sequences (total of 3,339 bp) and 161 morphological characters for 22 species of rachovine genera (Aphyolebias, Austrofundulus, Gnatholebias, Llanolebias, Micromoema, Moema, Neofundulus, Pterolebias, Rachovia, Renova, Terranatos, and Trigonectes), and 16 outgroups, supports monophyly of the group containing genera endemic to the Orinoco river basin and adjacent coastal drainages. Results of the present analysis are compared to previous studies. The tree topology indicates that the genera Moema and Rachovia as presently delimited are paraphyletic; consequently, Aphyolebias and Austrofundulus are respectively placed in the synonymy of Moema and Rachovia. This study also indicates that rachovines were in the past geographically restricted to the Ama]onas3araguay area where diversi¿cation in niche e[ploitation was constrained by competition with sympatric mem- bers of older seasonal ¿sh lineages. Rachovines later reached the Orinoco basin and adjacent coastal drainages by dispersal through the Paleo-Amazonas river basin, when major evolutionary radiation taken place.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Museo de Ciencias Naturales, UNELLEZ, Guanare, Estado Portuguesa 3310, Venezuela 3Corresponding author Abstract We describe a new genus to accommodate the species originally described as Rivulus stellifer Thomerson & Turner, 1973, but currently referred to the genus Rachovia Myers, 1927. Rachovia stellifer has had a complicated taxonomic his- tory and has, at various times since its description, been placed in and out of three genera: Rivulus Poey, 1860, Pituna Costa, 1989 and Rachovia. However, phylogenetic analyses using 3537 mitochondrial and nuclear characters, and 93 morphological characters indicate it is not a member of any of these genera, but place it as a deeply divergent sister spe- cies to the genus Gnatholebias Costa, 1998. In addition to molecular characters, it is distinguished from the genera Rachovia and Gnatholebias by 13 and 33 morphological character states, respectively. Key words: Rivulidae, total evidence, phylogenetic analysis, taxonomic revision Introduction In the last three decades, several phylogenetic hypotheses have been proposed for the fish order Cyprinodon- tiformes, as well as for its taxonomic subsets. Parenti (1981) presented the first cladistic analysis of the Cyp- rinodontiformes, including an analysis of phylogenetic relationships of the South American family Rivulidae. Nearly 10 years later Costa (1990a) published a phylogeny focusing solely on the family Rivulidae.

Mitochondrial genomes of 26 cichlid species were amplified by long-range PCR followed by the 454 pyrosequencing on a GS Roche Junior platform. The primers for long-range PCR were designed specifically in the mitogenomic regions with low interspecific variability. The whole mitogenome of most species was amplified as three fragments using the following primer sets: for the region between position 2 500 bp and 7 300 bp (of mitogenome starting with tRNA-Phe), we used forward primers ZM2500F (5'-ACG ACC TCG ATG TTG GAT CAG GAC ATC C-3'), L2508KAW (Kawaguchi et al. 2001) or S-LA-16SF (Miya & Nishida 2000) and reverse primer ZM7350R (5'-TTA AGG CGT GGT CGT GGA AGT GAA GAA G-3').

E. M. Costa* A maximum parsimony analysis of a combined set of mitochondrial and morphological data available in the literature for 33 rivuline taxa and three outgroups confirms Rivulus as a paraphyletic assemblage. In order to adjust a generic classification to our present phylogenetic knowledge on rivuline relationships, the following taxonomic changes are proposed: Rivulus, restricted to two species endemic to Cuba, is hypothesized to be the most basal rivuline lineage, distinguished from all other non-annual rivulines by having all hypurals fused into a single plate, neural prezygapophysis of caudal vertebrae rudimentary, fourth ceratobranchial teeth absent, about 50 % of the anterior portion of the caudal fin covered by scales, four neuromasts on the anterior supraorbital series, and a black round spot with white margin on the dorsoposterior portion of the caudal peduncle in females; Anablepsoides, Atlantirivulus, Laimosemion, Melanorivulus and Cynodonichthys, previously classified as subgenera of Rivulus, are considered as valid genera; Laimosemion, including 24 species from northern South America, con- stitutes the sister group to a clade comprising Melanorivulus,

[email protected] Abstract Pterolebias is revised on the basis of osteology, external morphology, latero-sensory system, and color patterns. Two species are recognized as valid: P. longipinnis, from the eastern and southern Amazon River basin and the ParanáParaguay River system, in Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Argentina; and P. phasianus, from the Paraguay River basin, in Brazil and Bolivia. Pterolebias bokermanni and P. luelingi are considered synonyms of P. longipinnis. Monophyly of Pterolebias is corroborated by the morphology of the angulo-articular, second pharyngobranchial, maxilla, metapterygoid, quadrate, basihyal, and two derived color patterns. In contrast to molecular studies, monophyly of an assemblage including Pterolebias and Gnatholebias is herein strongly supported by reduction of the interarcual cartilage, morphology of the anterior proximal radials of the anal fin and pelvic girdle, presence of scale rows on the anal-fin base, derived jaw dentition, numerous pelvic-fin rays, and long pelvic fins. A recent proposal to unite Pterolebias and Gnatholebias in a single genus is rejected.

COSTA Laboratório de Sistemática e Evolução de Peixes Teleósteos, Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Caixa Postal 68049, CEP 21944-970, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil wcosta(at)acd.ufrj.br Accepted on March 06, 2012. Published online at www.vertebrate-zoology.de on July 06, 2012. > Abstract The caudal skeleton of teleost fishes of the order Cyprinodontiformes is described and compared on the basis of 394 ex- tant and eight fossil species, supporting delimitation of 21 phylogenetic characters, of which 13 are firstly reported. The Cyprinodontiformes are unambiguously diagnosed by the presence of a single, blade-like epural, and by principal caudal-fin rays continuous on upper and lower hypural plates. Monophyly of the suborder Cyprinodontoidei is supported by the wid- ened neural and hemal spines of the preural centrum 3 and presence of a spine-like process on the stegural, and monophyly of the Aplocheiloidei by the absence of radial caudal cartilages. A keel-shaped lateral process on the compound centrum supports monophyly of the Nothobranchiidae. Some characters of the caudal skeleton in combination to other osteological features indicate the cyprinodontiform fossil genus †Prolebias to be a paraphyletic assemblage; †P. aymardi, †P. delphin- ensis and †P. stenoura, the type species of the genus, all from the Lower Oligocene of Europe, possibly are closely related to recent valenciids; †“P.” meridionalis from the Upper Oligocene of France is an incertae sedis cyprinodontid; and, †“P”.
