A new species of Roeboides (Teleostei: Characidae) from Costa Rica and Panama, with a key to the middle American species of the genus

Abstract: A new species of Roeboides is described from the Pacific slope of Costa Rica and Panama. Roeboides bussingi differs from all other Central American Roeboides and all members of the R. guatemalensis species group by the following combination of characters: presence of 18-22 scales above the lateral line (vs. 12-16 in R. dientito); 15-22 scales below the lateral line (vs. 10-14 in R. dientito, and 20-24 in R. loftini); an inconspicuous, sometimes absent, crescent-shaped humeral spot (vs. a large round, conspicuo… Show more

“…Fish were captured using a handheld seine with 1‐mm mesh size and cast nets and identified in the field if possible. When taxonomic identifications were uncertain, we collected voucher specimens of each species by humanely euthanizing individuals with an overdose of MS‐222 and keying them in the laboratory using the keys in Angulo et al (2018), Angulo and Gracian‐Negrete (2013), Bussing (1998), Matamoros et al (2013) and Schmitter‐Soto (2017). For species in the family Cichlidae, we modified the key in Bussing (1998) using updated taxonomic information from Říčan et al (2008) and Říčan et al (2016), see Appendix S1).…”

“…Tales avances se han visto reflejados en diversas publicaciones científicas incrementando el número total de especies reconocidas para el país (e.g., Schmitter-Soto, 2017;Angulo et al, 2015;en prep., & Álvarez-Calderón et al, 2018; entre otros), ampliando los ámbitos de distribución vertical y/o geográfico conocido para varias especies (e.g. Angulo et al, 2015;2017;2018a, b;Arguedas, 2019;Rodríguez-Arias et al, 2019, & Angulo et al, 2020 e incluso añadiendo/describiendo nuevas especies para la ciencia, algunas de ellas con localidades tipo en Costa Rica (e.g., Matamoros et al, 2013;Angulo & Gracian-Negrete, 2013;Angulo et al, 2018a, & Ota et al, 2020, entre otros. Dado esto, el conocimiento sobre la composición taxonómica de la fauna íctica (de aguas continentales e insulares) costarricense ha cambiado, de forma sustancial, en los últimos años; no solo por la adición de múltiples especies y taxones supra-específicos sino también como consecuencia de diversos rearreglos y cambios taxonómicos en los diferentes niveles jerárquicos, principalmente géneros, pero también familias y órdenes Nelson et al, 2016;Angulo et al, 2017;2018;2020 en prep.…”
