A new species of Leporinus Agassiz, 1829 (Characiformes: Anostomidae) from the rio Tocantins, Brazil

Abstract: A new species of Leporinus is described based on specimens from the lower rio Tocantins, Pará State, Brazil. The new species is diagnosed by having conspicuous dark spots on center of scales on anterolateral portion of body, 33 or 34 scales in lateral line, 16 scales rows around caudal peduncle, four scale rows between dorsal-fin origin and lateral line and four between lateral line and pelvic-fin origin, and four teeth on premaxilla and four on dentary. The new species is similar to Leporinus gomesi, L. grant… Show more

“…The findings of the present study nevertheless indicate that these species are closely related in terms of the evolution of differentiated sex chromosomes, irrespective of the genus ( Leporinus or Megaleporinus ) . As Leporinus is the most diverse anostomid genus [Britski and Birindelli, 2013] and less than half of its species have been karyotyped, it seems likely that additional cytogenetic analyses of a wider range of species of this and other anostomid genera may reveal a much greater diversity of sex chromosomes in this family. For these future studies, chromosome microdissection, combined with chromosome painting, would appear to offer a powerful tool for the definition of homologous chromosome regions between both closely related and more distant species [Nanda et al, 2011].…”

“…Na ecorregião Tocantins-Araguaia o conhecimento a respeito da ictiofauna cresceu nas últimas décadas. A publicação de checklists com espécies de peixes de diferentes partes da ecorregião (CLARO-GARCÍA et al, 2013;LIMA et al, 2011;VENERE et al, 2011;BARTOLETTE et al, 2012;FERREIRA et al, 2011;LUCINDA et al, 2007), e os artigos com a descrição de novas espécies (BRITSKI et al, 2013;BERTACO et al, 2011;COSTA et al, 2018;JEREP et al, 2018) atestam esse crescimento.…”
