The earliest iconographic record of Gobioides broussonnetii La Cepède, 1800 (Gobiiformes: Gobiidae): the species identity of the “Caramuru” paintings of Dutch Brazil (1624-1654)

“…The application of the Tupi name "caramuru" to Gobioides broussonnetii is remarkable because there is no other record of its usage for this species or its synonyms. In Atlantic waters, the Tupi name "caramuru" and its variants, such as "caramurú", "caramurù", "caramaru", "curumara", and "karamuru", are consistently applied to moray eels belonging to the families Muraenidae and Ophichthidae, from at least the sixteenth century to the present day, including to those whose representants are found in the northeastern Brazil [e.g., Cardim, 1583apud Papavero & Teixeira, 2014Valle, 1585in Ayrosa, 1938(cited as Anonymous, 1622by Ayrosa, 1938, but authorship recognized as belonging to Father Leonardo do Valle by Papavero & Teixeira, 1999); Soares-de-Sousa, 1587 in Varnhagen, 1879;d'Abbeville, 1614;Cardim, undated (before 1625); Pisonis, 1658; Father Anselm Eckart, undated, and two anonymous manuscripts, one from 1756 and one undated, all from the 18 th century apud Papavero, 2015;Martius, 1863;Castelnau, 1855;Tastevin, 1922;Ihering, 1940Ihering, , 1968Figueiredo & Menezes, 1978]. Castelnau (1855) even utilized this Tupi name to compose the specific epithet for a moray eel he recognized as new, then being baptized as Murenophis caramuru Castelnau, 1855 [currently a junior synonym of the spotted moray Gymnothorax moringa -Smith, 2012], in reference to its common name given in Bahia, northeastern Brazil.…”

“…The misleading idea that the term "caramuru" would also be used interchangeably with the Tupi term "pirapucu" (actually the characin Boulengerella Eigenmann, 1903) (e.g., Magalhães, 1931) probably originates in the glossary of Brazilian indigenous languages by Martius (1863), where it is mentioned that these words would have the same meaning (i.e., elongated fish), but not that they could be interchangeably applied for the same fish species. Apparently, from the 18 th century (see Jesuit manuscripts in Papavero, 2015) the Tupi name "caramuru" was also employed to designate lampreys (e.g., Varnhagen, 1879;Navarro, 2013), due to mistaken assumption by European travelers that they were the same or closely related fishes.…”
