“…In Psilorhynchus, this cartilage has either disappeared or undergone complete ossification, resulting in the fusion of the anterior processes. Though the pelvic girdle in the cyprinid Labe0 rohira (Sarabahi, 1932) and the catostomid Cycleprus elongutus (Branson, 1962) is also pronged, like that of Crossocheilus and Garra, the presence of a cartilaginous wedge has not been described. These pieces of cartilage aid in the union of the pelvic plates of the two sides and thus strengthen the pelvic arch.…”

This paper deals with the functional morphology of the pelvic girdle and fins in various genera of hill stream cyprinid and sisorid fishes. The pelvic plate of Pseudecheneis shows the greatest modification; it is unusually large and reaches the coracoids of the pectoral arch in front. The elaborate working of the pelvic muscles and their function in bringing about effective adhesion by the pelvic fins is described in detail. The formation of a new muscle, M. pars retractor ischii of the M. mesioventralis, is reported in Garra and Psilorhynchus (Cyprinidae) and in Glyptothorax and Pseudecheneis (Sisoridae). In Pseudecheneis, the complete separation of this muscle from the M. mesioventral, and modification of the M. protractor ischii, are discussed in relation to the crawling habit of the genus. The appearance of the M. arrector pel vicalis ventralis in Glyptothorax and Pseudecheneis among sisorids has been associated with the adhesive function of the outer ray.

“…Ictiobus aguilerai has three branchiostegal rays, as occurs in other catostomids (Branson, 1962). There is a difference in the shape among these long and flat bones, the larger posterior ray is about straight, whereas the curvature of the other two rays in creases in posterior-anteriorly; anterodorsally all of them show sharp articulations for the ceratohyal (Fig.…”

“…2g). Finally, the posterior process of the basipterygium in C. elongatus, as evidenced by Branson (1962), is less pointed with a more laterally oriented external process, and the posterior process is more pointed in the river carpsucker with an external process that points directly forward (Fig. 2h).…”

“…In addition to comparative specimens, guides and keys can also be useful in aiding faunal identification. The main key used for identification of skeletal elements in this study comes from Branson (1962), though other sources were used (Nelson 1948(Nelson , 1949Gehlbach & Miller, 1966;Eastman, 1977Eastman, , 1980Olsen, 1968). When identifying faunal remains from archaeological sites, it is important to recognize taxa that potentially overlap in skeletal morphology, and thus their remains can be difficult to distinguish (Wolverton, 2013).…”

Archaeological data suggest broader early historic distribution for blue sucker (Cycleptus elongatus, Actinopterygii, Catostomidae) in New Mexico

Zooarchaeological data are increasingly important for establishing late Holocene conservation baselines for species of concern. The blue sucker (Cycleptus elongatus) is experiencing range reduction and is endangered in the State of New Mexico. The early historic (ca. AD 1540) distribution of blue sucker is poorly understood, and the extent of habitat loss is unclear. In 1961, two blue sucker skeletal elements were recovered from a late prehistoric/early historic archaeological site in northern New Mexico called Rainbow House (LA 217). Those remains suggest that the past range of blue sucker was larger; however, since that publication, little consideration has been given to the past presence of this species in the Upper Rio Grande. New zooarchaeological data from a site in northern New Mexico called Ponsipa (LA 297) have revealed the presence of multiple blue sucker skeletal elements. Additionally, a review of site reports and regional archaeological journal publications increased the abundance of blue sucker elements found at Rainbow House and added three archaeological sites where blue sucker has been reported in the region. Collectively, this information suggests a broader preimpoundment distribution for blue sucker than previously recognized and can help establish a new baseline for their conservation or restoration in New Mexico.
