Brachyhypopomus Bullocki, a New Species of Electric Knifefish
ISSN 0097-3157 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA 158: 183-192 APRIL 2009 Brachyhypopomus bullocki, a new species of electric knifefish (Gymnotiformes: Hypopomidae) from northern South America JOHN P. SULLIVAN Department of Ichthyology, The Academy of Natural Sciences, 1900 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia, PA 19103-1195, USA, Email: [email protected] CARL D. HOPKINS Department of Neurobiology and Behavior, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853-2702, USA, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT.—We describe the new species Brachyhypopomus bullocki (Gymnotiformes: Hypopomidae) from the río Orinoco basin of Colombia and Venezuela as well as the Takutu River/rio Branco-rio Negro basin of Guyana and Brazil. Among its congeners, B. bullocki most closely resembles Brachyhypopomus brevirostris (Steindachner, 1868) in possessing an elongated caudal filament which may reach up to 45% TL in reproductive males, in having wide, evenly spaced saddles of pigment over the dorsum connecting to lateral bands of pigment along the abdominal flanks, and in having a mesocoracoid bone. This new species is distinguished from B. brevirostris and other members of the genus by a large eye (15.5–19.2% of head length), a short abdomen usually with 12 pre-caudal vertebrae, and poorly ossified third and fourth branchiostegal rays that are enlarged distally, producing a bulbous appearance of the opercular region. The electric organ discharge waveform of B. bullocki is biphasic, 0.9–1.6 milliseconds in duration, and the pulse rate varies from 20–80 Hz. RESUMEN.— Se describe la nueva especie Brachyhypopomus bullocki (Gymnotiformes: Hypopomidae) de la cuenca del río Orinoco de Colombia y Venezuela, como así también de la cuenca del Río Takutu/Rio Branco-Rio Negro de Guyana y Brasil. -
Convergent Evolution of Weakly Electric Fishes from Floodplain Habitats in Africa and South America
Environmental Biology of Fishes 49: 175–186, 1997. 1997 Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Convergent evolution of weakly electric fishes from floodplain habitats in Africa and South America Kirk O. Winemiller & Alphonse Adite Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, U.S.A. Received 19.7.1995 Accepted 27.5.1996 Key words: diet, electrogenesis, electroreception, foraging, morphology, niche, Venezuela, Zambia Synopsis An assemblage of seven gymnotiform fishes in Venezuela was compared with an assemblage of six mormyri- form fishes in Zambia to test the assumption of convergent evolution in the two groups of very distantly related, weakly electric, noctournal fishes. Both assemblages occur in strongly seasonal floodplain habitats, but the upper Zambezi floodplain in Zambia covers a much larger area. The two assemblages had broad diet overlap but relatively narrow overlap of morphological attributes associated with feeding. The gymnotiform assemblage had greater morphological variation, but mormyriforms had more dietary variation. There was ample evidence of evolutionary convergence based on both morphology and diet, and this was despite the fact that species pairwise morphological similarity and dietary similarity were uncorrelated in this dataset. For the most part, the two groups have diversified in a convergent fashion within the confines of their broader niche as nocturnal invertebrate feeders. Both assemblages contain midwater planktivores, microphagous vegetation- dwellers, macrophagous benthic foragers, and long-snouted benthic probers. The gymnotiform assemblage has one piscivore, a niche not represented in the upper Zambezi mormyriform assemblage, but present in the form of Mormyrops deliciousus in the lower Zambezi and many other regions of Africa. -

Gymnotiformes: Apteronotidae), with Assignment to a New Genus
Neotropical Ichthyology Original article https://doi.org/10.1590/1982-0224-2019-0126 urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:4ECB5004-B2C9-4467-9760-B4F11199DCF8 A redescription of deep-channel ghost knifefish, Sternarchogiton preto (Gymnotiformes: Apteronotidae), with assignment to a new genus Correspondence: 1 2 3 Maxwell J. Bernt Maxwell J. Bernt , Aaron H. Fronk , Kory M. Evans 2 [email protected] and James S. Albert From a study of morphological and molecular datasets we determine that a species originally described as Sternarchogiton preto does not form a monophyletic group with the other valid species of Sternarchogiton including the type species, S. nattereri. Previously-published phylogenetic analyses indicate that this species is sister to a diverse clade comprised of six described apteronotid genera. We therefore place it into a new genus diagnosed by the presence of three cranial fontanels, first and second infraorbital bones independent (not fused), the absence of an ascending process on the endopterygoid, and dark brown to black pigments over the body surface and fins membranes. We additionally provide Submitted November 13, 2019 a redescription of this enigmatic species with an emphasis on its osteology, and Accepted February 2, 2020 by provide the first documentation of secondary sexual dimorphism in this species.

Triques Departamento de Zoologia, Instituto de Ciências Biológicas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Av. Antônio Carlos 6627, Pampulha, 31270- 901, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Cladistic analysis of external morphology and skeletal characters of Apteronotidae (Teleostei: Gymnotyiformes). Cladistic analysis of external morphology and skeletal characters was undertaken for 37 species of Apteronotidae, Neotropical electric fishes. Orthosternarchus + Sternarchorhamphus (included here in Sternarchorhamphinae status novo) are proposed to be the sister taxa to all remaining apteronotids, most of which form a basal polytomy in Apteronotinae. Several apteronotid species are currently incertae sedis but the monophyly of several genera were corroborated. Sternarchorhynchus is proposed to be the sister group of Ubidia magdalensis + Platyurosternarchus macrostomus, together forming the Sternarchorhynchini. Snout elongation was revealed to have occurred in several independent evolutionary lines as the Sternar- chorhynchini, Orthosternarchus and Sternarchorhamphus. Apteronotus is restricted here to A. albifrons + A. jurubidae and postulated to be the sister group to Parapteronotus, which includes P. hasemani + P. macrostomus. “Apteronotus” leptorhynchus is postulated to be the sister group to “Apteronotus” -

Neotropical Ichthyology, 3(3):395-400, 2005 Copyright © 2005 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Previously undescribed dental arrangement among electric knifefishes, with comments on the taxonomic and conservation status of Tembeassu marauna Triques (Otophysi: Gymnotiformes: Apteronotidae) Ricardo Campos-da-Paz Recent study of the type-material of Tembeassu marauna, a poorly-known species currently represented in collections only by its holotype (male) and paratypes (male and female), all collected forty years ago at the Ilha Solteira reservoir area, upper Paraná river region, revealed an unique pattern of dental arrangement among members of the order Gymnotiformes. This autapomorphic condition refers to a patch of around 15 elongate conical, extra teeth associated to soft tissue, and disposed inside the mouth on a restricted area at the roof of oral cavity and located just in front of the premaxillary bones (although clearly apart from those). Besides this obvious feature, two additional conditions are recognized as possibly unique for T. marauna, which refer to the conspicuous “fleshy” (that is, not presenting subjacent bony structures) anterior elongations of the upper and lower jaws. Some additional osteological features identified on radiographs taken from the type material belonging to that species are presented. A brief discussion is furnished, indicating that the recent inclusion of the nominal Tembeassu marauna in Apteronotus La Cépède is not supported by currently available evidence. Thus, it is herein suggested that the species -

Part I of the ichthyological type catalogue of the ZSM (Neumann 2006) reviewed the historic “Old Collection”, of which types were apparently lost in the Second World War. Part II refers to type material physically available in ZSM, including historic types saved and re-inventoried. Rebuilding the ichthyological collection after the war, Otto Schindler received with the so-called “Kähsbauer Donations” historic fish specimens from the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (NMW). Among them are types from the Natterer and Thayer expeditions to Brazil, from the Hase- man expeditions to South America and from Steindachner’s late Brazil expedition in 1903. As far as possible, exchanged specimens were critically reviewed, traced to original lots and compared with NMW acquisition entries for unambiguous identification. Additional historic type material was recovered from the “Zoologi- sche Präparatesammlung der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München” (ZPLMU), i. -
