    A New Colorful Species of Geophagus (Teleostei: Cichlidae), Endemic to the Rio Aripuanã in the Amazon Basin of Brazil

    Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(4): 737-746, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20140038 A new colorful species of Geophagus (Teleostei: Cichlidae), endemic to the rio Aripuanã in the Amazon basin of Brazil Gabriel C. Deprá1, Sven O. Kullander2, Carla S. Pavanelli1,3 and Weferson J. da Graça4 Geophagus mirabilis, new species, is endemic to the rio Aripuanã drainage upstream from Dardanelos/Andorinhas falls. The new species is distinguished from all other species of the genus by the presence of one to five large black spots arranged longitudinally along the middle of the flank, in addition to the black midlateral spot that is characteristic of species in the genus and by a pattern of iridescent spots and lines on the head in living specimens. It is further distinguished from all congeneric species, except G. camopiensis and G. crocatus, by the presence of seven (vs. eight or more) scale rows in the circumpeduncular series below the lateral line (7 in G. crocatus; 7-9 in G. camopiensis). Including the new species, five cichlids and 11 fish species in total are known only from the upper rio Aripuanã, and 15 fish species in total are known only from the rio Aripuanã drainage. Geophagus mirabilis, espécie nova, é endêmica da drenagem do rio Aripuanã, a montante das quedas de Dardanelos/ Andorinhas. A espécie nova se distingue de todas as outras espécies do gênero pela presença de uma a cinco manchas pretas grandes distribuídas longitudinalmente ao longo do meio do flanco, em adição à mancha preta no meio do flanco característica das espécies do gênero, e por um padrão de pontos e linhas iridescentes sobre a cabeça em espécimes vivos.

    Assessment of the distribution and population viability of the Pearl Cichlid in the Swan River Catchment, Western Australia Report to: Prepared by: S Beatty, D Morgan, G Sarre, A Cottingham, A Buckland Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research Murdoch University August 2010 1 DISTRIBUTION AND POPULATION VIABILITY OF PEARL CICHLID Assessment of the distribution and population viability of the Pearl Cichlid in the Swan River Catchment, Western Australia ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: This project was funded by the Swan River Trust through the Western Authors: Australian Government’s Natural Resource S Beatty, D Morgan, G Sarre, Management grants A Cottingham, A Buckland scheme. We would like to Centre for Fish & Fisheries thank Jeff Cosgrove and Steeg Hoeksema for project Research Murdoch University management (SRT). Thanks also to Michael Klunzinger, James Keleher and Mark Allen for field support and Gordon Thompson for histology. 2 DISTRIBUTION AND POPULATION VIABILITY OF PEARL CICHLID Summary and recommendations The Pearl Cichlid Geophagus brasiliensis (which is native to eastern South America) was first reported in Bennett Brook in February 2006 by Ben de Haan (North Metro Catchment Group Inc.) who visually observed what he believed to be a cichlid species. The senior authors were notified and subsequently initially captured and identified the species in the system on 15th of February 2006. Subsequent monitoring programs have been periodically undertaken and confirmed that the species was self‐maintaining and is able to tolerate high salinities. There is thus the potential for the species to invade many tributaries and the main channel of the region’s largest river basin, the Swan River. However, little information existed on the biology and ecology of the species within Bennett Brook and this information is crucial in understanding its pattern of recruitment, ecological impact, and potential for control or eradication.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We describe a new Geophagus from the Berbice River of Guyana, bringing the total number of described species in the genus to 19, and of Guianese species to six.. Geophagus crocatus, new species, is distinguished from all species of Geoph- agus outside of the G. surinamensis group by the presence of an incomplete suborbital stripe (vs. complete), and the pres- ence of six lateral bars, with bars 2 and 3 slightly sloping toward each other and fusing dorsally at the base of the dorsal fin. Geophagus crocatus is the only Geophagus species known from the Berbice River, and it is present above and below the Itabru Falls. Key words: taxonomy, Freshwater, Guiana Shield Introduction The South American cichlid genus Geophagus Heckel consists of medium to large geophagine cichlids widely distributed throughout the Amazon and Orinoco basins, in the Guianas, and in parts of northeastern Brazil.

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.
