A new Centromochlus Kner, 1858 (Siluriformes: Auchenipteridae: Centromochlinae) from the transition between Amazon floodplain and Guiana shield, Brazil

Abstract: Species of Centromochlus are widely distributed in South America, with records for major basins such as the Amazon and Orinoco, rivers draining the Guiana Shield such as the Essequibo, Courantyne (Corantijn), Coppename, Maroni, and Oyapock, and Brazilian Shield drainages as upper Paraná and São Francisco. In the last four years, three species of Centromochlus have been described, raising the total number of valid species to sixteen. The new species of Centromochlus described herein is diagnosed by having black… Show more

“…The two species are easily distinguished from each other by details in the colour pattern (see Diagnosis ). Curimatopsis melanura represents the second species apparently endemic to the Rio Nhamundá basin, after the auchenipterid Centromochlus orca Sarmento‐Soares, Lazzaroto, Py‐Daniel & Leitão (Sarmento‐Soares et al, ). These represent important contributions to the knowledge of a still poorly‐known fish diversity in a distinctive and remote section of the Amazon basin.…”

“…In the case of Auchenipteridae, 60% of the species described in the last decade resulted from field inventories (e.g. Akama & Ferraris, 2011;Sarmento-Soares, Cabeceira, Carvalho, Zuanon, & Akama, 2013;Sarmento-Soares, Lazzarotto, Py-Daniel, & Leitão, 2016). The high number of species recently discovered in the field may be related to the inconspicuousness of Auchenipteridae catfishes.…”
