Pyrrhulina Spilota
''Pyrrhulina'' is a genus of freshwater fishes found in tropical South America. Several of these species are popular aquarium fish. ''Pyrrhulina'' is closely related to ''Copeina'' and ''Copella'', although it is distinguished from the former by having only one row of teeth (''Copeina'' spp. have two). When the genus ''Copella'' was established, many species were removed from the genus ''Pyrrhulina'' and placed there, because differences in the maxillary bones in the males had been detected. ''Copella'' species are slimmer and more elongated than those species that remained in the genus ''Pyrrhulina''. Species The 18 currently recognized species in this genus are: * ''Pyrrhulina australis'' C. H. Eigenmann & C. H. Kennedy, 1903 * ''Pyrrhulina beni'' N. E. Pearson, 1924 * '' Pyrrhulina brevis'' Steindachner, 1876 * ''Pyrrhulina eleanorae'' Fowler, 1940 * ''Pyrrhulina elongata'' Zarske & Géry, 2001 * ''Pyrrhulina filamentosa'' Valenciennes, 1847 * ''Pyrrhulina laeta'' ( ...

Achille Valenciennes
Achille Valenciennes (9 August 1794 – 13 April 1865) was a French zoologist. Valenciennes was born in Paris, and studied under Georges Cuvier. His study of parasitic worms in humans made an important contribution to the study of parasitology. He also carried out diverse systematic classifications, linking fossil and current species. He worked with Cuvier on the 22-volume "'' Histoire Naturelle des Poissons''" (Natural History of Fish) (1828–1848), carrying on alone after Cuvier died in 1832. In 1832, he succeeded Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville (1777–1850) as chair of ''Histoire naturelle des mollusques, des vers et des zoophytes'' at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. Early in his career, he was given the task of classifying animals described by Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) during his travels in the American tropics (1799 to 1803), and a lasting friendship was established between the two men. He is the binomial authority for many species of fish, such a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Franz Steindachner
Franz Steindachner (11 November 1834 in Vienna – 10 December 1919 in Vienna) was an Austrian Zoology, zoologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist. He published over 200 papers on fishes and over 50 papers on reptiles and amphibians. Steindachner described hundreds of new species of fish and dozens of new amphibians and reptiles. At least seven species of reptile have been named after him. Work and career Being interested in natural history, Steindachner took up the study of fossil fishes on the recommendation of his friend Eduard Suess (1831–1914). In 1860 he was appointed to the position of director of the fish collection at the Naturhistorisches Museum, a position which had remained vacant since the death of Johann Jakob Heckel (1790–1857). (in German). Steindachner's reputation as an Ichthyology, ichthyologist grew, and in 1868 he was invited by Louis Agassiz (1807–1873) to accept a position at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University.

''Pyrrhulina marilynae'' is a species of fish in the ''Pyrrhulina'' genus found in the basins of the Tapajós and Xingu River. They grow no more than a few centimeters.

Edward Drinker Cope
Edward Drinker Cope (July 28, 1840 – April 12, 1897) was an American zoologist, paleontologist, comparative anatomist, herpetologist, and ichthyologist. Born to a wealthy Quaker family, Cope distinguished himself as a child prodigy interested in science; he published his first scientific paper at the age of 19. Though his father tried to raise Cope as a gentleman farmer, he eventually acquiesced to his son's scientific aspirations. Cope married his cousin and had one child; the family moved from Philadelphia to Haddonfield, New Jersey, although Cope would maintain a residence and museum in Philadelphia in his later years. Cope had little formal scientific training, and he eschewed a teaching position for field work. He made regular trips to the American West, prospecting in the 1870s and 1880s, often as a member of United States Geological Survey teams. A personal feud between Cope and paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh led to a period of intense fossil-finding competition ...

Pyrrhulina Laeta
''Pyrrhulina laeta'', known as the half-banded pyrrhulina or half-lined pyrrhulina, is a fish found near Pebas, Peru, and in tributaries of the Ampiyacu River. It is frequently confused with other species. Physical appearance The ocellated dorsal fin A dorsal fin is a fin located on the back of most marine and freshwater vertebrates within various taxa of the animal kingdom. Many species of animals possessing dorsal fins are not particularly closely related to each other, though through conv ... is the most attractive attribute. The back is pale olive, becoming silvery toward the belly. A fine, black line runs from the snout, across the eye to the end of the gill cover, then thickens to a wide band along the body, which suggests its common name, the half-banded pyrrulina. Other fins show blushes of red. In captivity A mature male has a more elongated upper caudal fin lobe than the mature female. No record exists of breeding this species in captivity, but the feat is believed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
