“…The monophyly of Hasemania, traditionally based mainly on the lack of an adipose fin, has been questioned by several authors (Böhlke, 1958;Géry, 1972Géry, , 1977Weitzman & Malabarba, 1999;Lima & Gerhard, 2001). However, preliminary results of a phylogenetic study of the genus ongoing by one of us (JPS) apparently suggest the group as monophyletic, based on a series of morphological characters.…”

Hasemania piatan is described from the upper rio de Contas drainage, Bahia, northeastern Brazil. It can be easily distinguished from its congeners by having 18 principal caudal-fin rays. The new species differs further from congeners by a combination of seven branched dorsal-fin rays, six branched pelvic-fin rays, anal-fin base not covered by scales, presence of only five infraorbitals, and presence of a humeral blotch. It also can be distinguished by having 10-13 branched anal-fin rays, 27-32 scales on longitudinal series, 10-12 circumpeduncular scales, and one to three maxillary teeth.Hasemania piatan é descrita para a bacia do alto rio de Contas, Bahia, nordeste do Brasil. Esta pode ser facilmente diferenciada das congêneres pela presença de 18 raios principais na nadadeira caudal. A espécie nova difere ainda das congêneres pela combinação de sete raios ramificados na nadadeira dorsal, seis raios ramificados na nadadeira pélvica, base da nadadeira anal sem escamas, presença de apenas cinco infraorbitais e presença de uma mancha umeral. Pode ainda ser diferenciada por ter 10-13 raios ramificados na nadadeira anal, 27-32 escamas na linha longitudinal, 10-12 escamas ao redor do pedúnculo caudal e um a três dentes maxilares.

“…In addition, examination of specimens originating from the region near the type locality, showed that meristic and morphometric data fall within the variation observed in the present study for G. gulo. Only data presented by Géry (1972) regarding number of teeth on the inner row of the premaxilla and number of maxillary teeth do not agree with the variation ranges observed during this study (3 vs. 2 and 31-36 vs. 35-55, respectively). Discrepancies in the number of premaxillary teeth are probably due to different ways of counting them (i.e.…”

“…Later, Menezes (1976) considered the species as a synonym of Galeocharax gulo, based on data presented by Géry (1972), but after examining the holotype of Charax goeldii and additional material from the rio Madeira basin, Menezes (2007a) recognized the species as valid in Galeocharax.…”

The taxonomy of Galeocharax, a genus of freshwater fishes distributed in most South American cis-Andean river systems, except the rio Negro, rio São Francisco and rio Xingu basins and the eastern drainages of Brazil, is herein revised. A total of 1229 specimens were examined from which 680 had meristic and morphometric data taken. Osteological and morphological features were also examined through radiographs, scanning electron microscopy and in cleared and stained specimens. Three of the four species previously considered as valid are herein recognized: Galeocharax humeralis from rio Paraguay and lower rio Paraná basins; Galeocharax goeldii, from rio Madeira basin, with records of geographical distribution expanded to the río Madre de Dios, río Beni, rio Mamoré and rio Guaporé basins and Galeocharax gulo, which is widespread throughout rio Amazonas, río Orinoco, rio Tocantins, and upper rio Paraná basins. Galeocharax knerii is herein considered a junior synonym of Galeocharax gulo. A key to species of Galeocharax is presented.Keywords: Key of identification, Ostariophysi, Systematics, Widespread species.A taxonomia de Galeocharax, um gênero de peixes de água doce distribuído nos principais sistemas hídricos da América do Sul cisandina, com exceção da bacia do rio Negro, do rio São Francisco, do rio Xingu e das drenagens litorâneas do leste, é aqui revisada. Foram examinados 1229 exemplares, dos quais 680 tiveram dados merísticos e morfométricos tomados. Características osteológicas e morfológicas também foram examinadas por meio de radiografias, microscopia eletrônica de varredura e exemplares diafanizados. Três das quatro espécies previamente consideradas válidas são reconhecidas: Galeocharax humeralis das bacias do rio Paraguai e baixo rio Paraná; Galeocharax goeldii da bacia do rio Madeira, com registros de distribuição geográfica ampliados para as bacias dos rios Madre de Dios, Beni, Mamoré e Guaporé, e Galeocharax gulo amplamente distribuída nas bacias dos rios Amazonas, Orinoco, Tocantins e alto rio Paraná. Galeocharax knerii foi considerada sinônimo júnior de Galeocharax gulo. Uma chave de identificação para as espécies de Galeocharax é apresentada.Palavras-chave: Chave de identificação, Espécies amplamente distribuídas, Ostariophysi, Sistemática.
