E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new species of torrent catfish, Liobargus hyeongsanensis, is described from rivers and tributaries of the southeastern coast of Korea. The new species can be differentiated from its congeners by the following characteristics: a small size with a maximum standard length (SL) of 90 mm; body and fins entirely brownish-yellow without distinct markings; a relatively short pectoral spine (3.7–6.5 % SL); a reduced body-width at pectoral-fin base (15.5–17.9 % SL); 50–54 caudal-fin rays; 6–8 gill rakers; 2–3 (mostly 3) serrations on pectoral fin; 60–110 eggs per gravid female. Key words: Amblycipitidae, Liobagrus hyeongsanensis, New species, Endemic, South Korea Introduction Species of the family Amblycipitidae, which comprises four genera, are found in swift freshwater streams in southern and eastern Asia, ranging from Pakistan across northern India to Malaysia, Korea, and Southern Japan (Chen & Lundberg 1995; Ng & Kottelat 2000; Kim & Park 2002; Wright & Ng 2008).

  • Colecciones De Invertebrados Del Museo Nacional De Ciencias Naturales (Csic)
    HISTORIA Y PRESENTE DE LAS COLECCIONES DE INVERTEBRADOS DEL MUSEO NACIONAL DE CIENCIAS NATURALES (CSIC) Miguel Villena Sánchez-Valero Conservador de las colecciones de Invertebrados 1 .- RESEÑA HISTÓRICA Para encontrar el origen de la Colección de Invertebrados de Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales de Madrid tenemos que remontarnos al último tercio del siglo XVIII, cuando, tras numerosas gestiones y diversos intentos, una Real Orden de Carlos III, promulgada el 17 de octubre de 1771, crea el Real Gabinete de Historia Natural y pone punto final a las enormes carencias que, en ese sentido, tenía España respecto a otros países europeos. En estos momentos iniciales, y hasta que se inaugure de forma definitiva el 4 de noviembre de 1776, las colecciones custodiadas en este establecimiento tendrán como base el excelente Gabinete de Historia Natural formado en París por el sabio ilustrado Pedro Franco Dávila, quien, gracias a sus desvelos en la formación del Gabinete y, sobre todo, gracias a los conocimientos en Historia Natural, adquiridos en una estancia de casi 26 años en París, en contacto con los científicos más reputados del momento, será nombrado Primer Director del establecimiento. Con este nombramiento Don Pedro recibió un triple encargo: que se coloquen en Madrid en debida forma las preciosidades actuales del Gabinete, y las demás con que el Rey providenciará enriquecerle, que se verifique la instrucción pública y, sobre todo, el encargo especial de que le tenga a su cuidado y procure difundir el gusto y nociones de tan importante materia.1 A partir de ese momento el interés principal del Gabinete recién creado y de sus dirigentes será el incremento de las colecciones con ese, cuando menos, triple objetivo que tiene que tener todo Museo2 que se precie de tal, es decir: • Conservar, catalogar, restaurar y exhibir de forma ordenada sus colecciones.
