“…Likewise, during the incubation period, males enlarge the branchial chamber, reduce the number of teeth, and modify the epithelium that covers the oral cavity (Gudger, 1916;Dimitrenko, 1970). All these differences are observed in the species of Cathorops, which have additional modifications not found in other ariid species, such as head larger and wider in males than in females (Marceniuk, 1997;2007a;2007b). These differences may be associated with the smaller body sizes, on average, attained by the species of Cathorops.…”

“…The subgenus Cathorops, within which the species described here are included, can be diagnosed from the subgenus Precathorops and from other ariid genera by possessing a lateral ethmoid and frontal limiting a wide conspicuous fenestra, visible under the skin (vs. moderately developed in Precathorops, Amphiarius, Aspistor, Bagre, Galeichthys, Notarius, and Potamarius or reduced or absent in Genidens, Sciades, and Occidentarius), mesethmoid, lateral ethmoid and frontal lacking bony spinulations (vs. bony spinulations present in Precathorops), posterior cranial fontanel very reduced (vs. moderately developed, long and narrow in Precathorops, Notarius, and Potamarius, large and long in Amphiarius and Aspistor, or absent in Sciades), vomerine tooth plates absent (vs. present in Precathorops, Aspistor, Bagre, Galeichthys, Notarius, Occidentarius, and Sciades), accessory tooth plates bearing molariform teeth (vs. conical in Precathorops, and in other ariid genera except Aspistor), posterior cleithral process short (vs. moderate length in Precathorops and other ariid genera), and Key to the species of Cathorops from the Mesoamerica and Caribbean Sea distinguished from A. fissus by having a shorter head, larger teeth and larger accessory tooth plates. The characters used to diagnose A. arenatus are typical of females, whereas the condition found in A. fissus is characteristic of males (Marceniuk, 2007b). The latter species is currently considered junior a synonym of the former.…”

The ariid genus Cathorops includes species that occur mainly in estuarine and freshwater habitats of the eastern and western coasts of southern Mexico, Central and South America. The species of Cathorops from the Mesoamerica (Atlantic slope) and Caribbean Central America are revised, and three new species are described: C. belizensis from mangrove areas in Belize; C. higuchii from shallow coastal areas and coastal rivers in the Central American Caribbean, from Honduras to Panama; and C. kailolae from río Usumacinta and lago Izabal basins in Mexico and Guatemala. Additionally, C. aguadulce, from the río Papaloapan basin in Mexico, and C. melanopus from the río Motagua basin in Guatemala and Honduras, are redescribed and their geographic distributions are revised.O gênero de ariídeos Cathorops inclui espécies que habitam principalmente águas doces e estuarinas das plataformas orientais e ocidentais do sul do México, Américas do Sul e Central. Neste estudo, se apresenta uma revisão das espécies de Cathorops da Mesoamérica (bacias do Atlântico) e Caribe centroamericano, incluindo a descrição de três espécies novas: C. belizensis, de áreas de manglar em Belice; C. higuchii, de águas costeiras rasas e rios costeiros do Caribe centroamericano, desde Honduras até o Panamá; e C. kailolae, das bacias do rio Usumacinta e lago Izabal no México e Guatemala. Adicionalmente, se redescrevem C. aguadulce, da bacia do rio Papaloapan no México, e C. melanopus, da bacia do rio Motagua na Guatemala e Honduras, apresentando-se uma revisão de suas distribuições geográficas.

“…and Cathorops spp.) is still under revision and may have contributed to differences in taxa aggregation (Kailola, ; Marceniuk, ; Marceniuk and Betancur, ). Additionally, the sampling sites used in our study were closer to the coastline and located in shallower waters relative to those sampled by previous authors.…”

One of the main concerns of shrimp fisheries is the associated impact on ecosystem biodiversity, particularly on fish assemblages that are poorly characterized yet likely very relevant to the health of the ecosystem. The continental shelf along the eastern coast of the mouth of the Gulf of California is a region of high biodiversity that harbors highly productive fisheries. This study aimed to analyze the changes in the soft bottom fish assemblages caught as bycatch in the shrimp fishery located in this region. Sampling was conducted with commercial trawls at 16 fixed stations during the 2006-2007 shrimp-fishing season. A total of 103 fish species from 80 genera and 47 families were collected. The ecological and taxonomic diversity as well as the composition and abundance of the fish community caught as bycatch in the shrimp trawl fishery were found to be significantly different in the autumn and winter. Ordination and similarity analyses also revealed differing patterns. Species abundance was strongly associated with sea bottom temperature, depth and latitude. The effects of these abiotic variables on the observed diversity patterns and the possible influences of the fishery are discussed. U.S.

“…The classification and delineation of species in the sea catfish family Ariidae has been recognized as the most problematic of all siluriform groups (Ferraris, 2007), and many taxonomic revisions for ariids during the past century were until recently treated as provisional (e.g., Taylor & Menezes, 1978;. A great degree of nomenclatural confusion is attributed to the strong similarity in external appearance of many ariid species, a problem that is further exacerbated by ontogenetic variation and sexual dimorphism (Marceniuk, 2005(Marceniuk, , 2007Betancur-R. et al, 2008). In recent years, morphological and molecular phylogenetic studies have improved our understanding of ariid relationships, leading to more objective classification schemes (Betancur-R., et al, 2007;Marceniuk & Menezes, 2007).…”

The taxonomy of sea catfishes (Ariidae) has had a complex history. A recent checklist of catfish species recognized Ariidae as having by far the highest number of species with uncertain status among siluriform families. One of the main problems concerns the classification and species delimitation of the amphiamerican genus Ariopsis Gill. Some recent studies have listed Ariopsis under the synonymy of other genera (e.g., Sciades Müller & Troschel), while other systematic revisions recognize Ariopsis as valid but have pointed out the need for clarification of the species composition of the genus. Based on morphological and molecular evidence, the systematic status and taxonomic limits of the genus Ariopsis are herein redefined. Two new species of Ariopsis are described, one only known from the Archipiélago de las Perlas, Pacific coast of Panama and another endemic to the Colombian Caribbean. Additionally, Ariopsis gilberti from the Pacific coast of Mexico and Ariopsis simonsi from Peru to Colombia (Eastern Pacific), previously listed as synonyms of Ariopsis seemanni, are herein resurrected. Finally, a molecular phylogeny is provided together with an identification key to the eight species in Ariopsis.
