Epactionotus
''Epactionotus'' is a genus of armored catfishes native to South America. Taxonomy ''Epactionotus'' was first described in 1998 by Roberto E. Reis and Scott A. Schaefer, as including three species. ''Epactionotus'' is part of the tribe Otothyrini within the subfamily Hypoptopomatini. ''Epactionotus'' is sister to a clade including '' Eurycheilichthys'', '' Pseudotocinclus'', '' Microlepidogaster'', '' Schizolecis'', '' Otothyris'', and '' Pseudotothyris''. ''E. yasi'' was described in 2004. Species These are the currently recognized species in this genus: * ''Epactionotus advenus'' Maria Laura S. Delapieve, Tiago P. Carvalho and R.

Hypoptopomatini
The Hypoptopomatinae are a subfamily of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Loricariidae, composed of 17 genera and approximately 80 species. This subfamily represents about one-tenth of all loricariid species. It has been divided into two tribes, Hypoptopomatini and Otothyrini. However, in a 2005 analysis, Otothyrini was found to not be monophyletic, with its representatives comprising a paraphyletic group in relation to the tribe Hypoptopomatini. More recent phylogenetic evidence shows that Hypoptopomatini and Otothyrini, while each are monophyletic tribes, do not form a monophyletic subfamily, and therefore should each be recognized as their own individual subfamilies. Problematically, the most recent hypoptopomatine genera, '' Gymnotocinclus'' and ''Rhinolekos'', were not classified in either of the tribes. Almost all species of Hypoptopomatinae have a diploid number of 2n = 54; this group is karyotypically very conserved. Hypoptopomatinae are distributed east of t ...

Eurycheilichthys
''Eurycheilichthys'' is a small genus of armored catfishes native to South America. Taxonomy ''Eurycheilus pantherinus'' was first described in 1992 by Roberto Esser dos Reis and Scott A. Schaefer. However, ''Eurycheilus'' was preoccupied in fossil cephalopods, and therefore was replaced by ''Eurycheilichthys'' in 1993. ''E. limulus'' was described in 1998. ''Eurycheilichthys'' together with '' Pseudotocinclus'', '' Microlepidogaster'', '' Schizolecis'', '' Otothyris'' and '' Pseudotothyris'' form a clade whose sister group is ''Epactionotus''. Species There are currently two recognized species in this genus: * ''Eurycheilichthys limulus'' Reis & Schaefer, 1998 * ''Eurycheilichthys pantherinus'' ( Reis & Schaefer, 1992) Distribution Both species in this genus are endemic to Brazil. Description The two species of ''Eurycheilichthys'' are similar. The trunk and caudal peduncle are round in cross section. Males have a fleshy flap along the posterior margin of the thicke ...

Species Description
A species description is a formal description of a newly discovered species, usually in the form of a scientific paper. Its purpose is to give a clear description of a new species of organism and explain how it differs from species that have been described previously or are related. In order for species to be validly described, they need to follow guidelines established over time. Zoological naming requires adherence to the ICZN code, plants, the ICN, viruses ICTV, and so on. The species description often contains photographs or other illustrations of type material along with a note on where they are deposited. The publication in which the species is described gives the new species a formal scientific name. Some 1.9 million species have been identified and described, out of some 8.7 million that may actually exist. Millions more have become extinct throughout the existence of life on Earth. Naming process A name of a new species becomes valid (available in zo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
