The new species can be diagnosed from 22 its two congeners, P. ariporo Conde-Saldaña, Albornoz-Garzón, García-Melo, Villa-Navarro, 23 Mirande, and Lima, and P. maxillaris (Ulrey, 1894), by a combination of color pattern and teeth 24 morphology characters. A phylogenetic analysis of the genus recovered P. crinogi sp. nov. as the 25 sister-taxa of P. ariporo. Pristella crinogi sp. nov., along with P. ariporo, are the first 26 characiform fishes, and one of the first bony fishes, to be reported as presenting a reversed sexual 27 dimorphism, with females presenting a more developed color pattern than males. Comments on 28 the miniaturization of the species, as wellDraft as remarks on the biogeography of the genus Pristella, 29 are presented. 30 31 Key words: Pristella ariporo, Pristella maxillaris, Hyphessobrycon axelrodi, Hyphessobrycon 32 micropterus, new species, taxonomy, phylogeny. 33 © The Author(s) or their Institution(s) 2 Page 3 of 34 Canadian Journal of Zoology 3 34 Introduction 35 36 Pristella Eigenmann was for a long time considered a monotypic genus, including only P. 37 maxillaris (Ulrey). The genus was defined as being similar to Hemigrammus, but presenting 38 numerous minute conical teeth along the maxilla (Eigenmann 1908). Recently, Conde-Saldaña et 39 al. (2019) described a second species for the genus, P. ariporo, from the río Orinoco basin in 40 Colombia and, based on a broad phylogenetic hypothesis, redefined Pristella as being supported 41 by 15 synapomorphies. However, the original character defining Pristella, the presence of 42 numerous conical teeth along the maxilla,Draft was identified as an autapomorphy of P. maxillaris, 43 since P. ariporo has an edentulous maxilla. 44 During a survey of the vertebrate fauna of the Estação Ecológica Serra Geral do 45 Tocantins, a large protected area at the border of the upper rio Tocantins and rio São Francisco 46 basins, states of Tocantins and Bahia, Brazil (Nogueira et al. 2011), from which two of the 47 authors (FCTL, RAC) took part, a bright-colored, miniature characid fish was collected in a small 48 tributary of the rio Preto, rio Tocantins basin. The species was immediately recognized as new 49 and cited (as Hyphessobrycon sp. “vermelhinho”) in an inventory of the ichthyofauna of the area 50 (Lima and Caires 2011). Subsequent collections undertaken by Claudio Oliveira and 51 collaborators in the region obtained additional material of the species. The present contribution 52 aims at describing this new species and discussing some of its uncommon morphological 53 features. 54 55 Material and Methods © The Author(s) or their Institution(s) 3 Canadian Journal of Zoology Page 4 of 34 4 56 57 Measurements and counts were taken according to Fink and Weitzman (1974) and Menezes and 58 Weitzman (1990), with the exception of the scale rows below lateral line, which were counted to 59 the insertion of pelvic fin. The count of horizontal scale rows between the dorsal-fin origin and 60 lateral line does not include the scale of the median predorsal series situated just anterior to the 61 first dorsal-fin ray. In the description, the frequency of each count is given in parentheses after 62 the respective count and an asterisk indicates the count of the holotype. Numbers of supraneurals, 63 vertebrae, procurrent caudal-fin rays, unbranched dorsal- and anal-fin rays, branchiostegal rays, 64 and gill rakers, were taken only from clearedDraft and stained paratypes (cs), prepared according to 65 Taylor and Van Dyke (1985). Vertebrae of the Weberian apparatus were counted as four 66 elements, and the fused PU1+U1 of the caudal region as a single element. In the list of material 67 examined, the total number of specimens in the lot is followed by the number of those cleared 68 and stained (if any). Institutional abbreviations follow Sabaj (2019). 69 Phylogenetic relationships of the new taxon were evaluated through a comprehensive 70 phylogenetic analysis of the Characidae, combining 520 morphological characters and nine 71 molecular markers. Since its first proposal (Mirande 2009), the analyzed dataset was 72 progressively augmented and curated to some of the latest phylogenetic approaches for the 73 Characidae (i.e. Conde-Saldaña et al. 2019; Ohara et al. 2017, 2019; Terán et al. 2020). In its 74 present form, it includes 596 species representing all characiform families and characid 75 subfamilies. The morphological partition of the dataset was coded for 344 terminals including the 76 new species herein described. Molecular partitions are the same analyzed by Terán et al. (2020), 77 whose listed the corresponding GenBank accessions. Parsimony analyses were done under © The Author(s) or their Institution(s) 4 Page 5 of 34 Canadian Journal of Zoology 5 78 extended implied weighting (Goloboff 1993, 2014) with TNT software (Goloboff et al. 2008). 79 Molecular characters were collectively weighted according to the average homoplasy of, either, 80 30 contiguous sites (GRO) or entire partitions of data (BLK) (details in Mirande 2017, 2019; 81 Terán et al. 2020). Analyses were ran in a broad range of concavity constants involving 9 K- 82 values for each of these weighting schemes, totalling, thus, 18 weighting conditions (see 83 Goloboff 1993, 2014; Mirande 2009, 2017, 2019 and Terán et al. 2020 for details). Different 84 analytical conditions are denoted with its weighting scheme followed by its weighting strength 85 against homoplasy (K-value). For instance, GRO25 means collective weighting by the average 86 homoplasy of 30 contiguous sites on molecularDraft partitions, using a K-value of 25. Searches were 87 done initially on each weighting condition by separate, using sectorial searches, tree drifting and 88 tree fusing (Goloboff 1999; Nixon 1999). After that, several rounds of tree fusing were done 89 (Goloboff 1999) from the (at least temporarily) optimal hypotheses for all analytical conditions. 90 This procedure was repeated until no further improvements were obtained in any analytical 91 condition. The final hypothesis was selected as the overall most parsimonious among the ones 92 obtained in the explored parameters (see Terán et al. 2020 for details). In a set of trees, each one 93 optimal under different analytical conditions, this criterion will prefer the one that is, as an 94 average, the closest possible to be optimal in the whole set of explored conditions over the trees 95 that are usually far to be optimal excepting for some specific set of parameters. In other words, 96 we prefer the most parsimonious trees that are robust to variations in the analytical conditions, in 97 an analog way we have more confidence in the monophyly of stable clades than on groups of 98 species that are monophyletic only under specific analytical conditions (Giribet 2003). Support 99 was calculated through symmetric resampling (probability of change 0.33), searching with © The Author(s) or their Institution(s) 5 Canadian Journal of Zoology Page 6 of 34 6 100 sectorial searches, and tree fusing on each resampled matrix (Goloboff 1999). Two different 101 resampling strategies were conducted, using different parameters, one of them after 100 102 pseudoreplicates and rather intensive searches on each resampled matrix (“level 3” of TNT) and 103 the other after 300 pseudoreplicates and shallower searches (“level 1” of TNT).
