Steindachneridion Melanodermatum
''Steindachneridion'' is a genus of South American pimelodid catfish ( order Siluriformes). Taxonomy The first species of the genus, ''S. parahybae'', was described in 1877 by Franz Steindachner under the name ''Platystoma parahybae''. Later, Carl H. Eigenmann and Rosa Smith Eigenmann described ''Steindachneridia'', named for Steindachner, for this species and for ''S. amblyurum'' (designated as the type species) in 1888. The next year, Eigenmann and Eigenmann described ''S. doceanum''. In 1918, Miranda Ribeiro described ''S. scriptum'' and ''S. scriptum punctatum''; later, ''S. punctatum'' was studied and considered to be a species of its own. However, because ''Steindachneria'' was already being used, these fish were transferred to ''Steindachneridion'' in 1919. The most recent species, ''S. melanodermatum'', was described by Garavello in 2005. This genus currently includes six extant species. Two fossil species of ''Steindachneridion'' have been found.

Oligocene
The Oligocene ( ) is a geologic epoch of the Paleogene Period and extends from about 33.9 million to 23 million years before the present ( to ). As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the epoch are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the epoch are slightly uncertain. The name Oligocene was coined in 1854 by the German paleontologist Heinrich Ernst Beyrich from his studies of marine beds in Belgium and Germany. The name comes from the Ancient Greek (''olígos'', "few") and (''kainós'', "new"), and refers to the sparsity of extant forms of molluscs. The Oligocene is preceded by the Eocene Epoch and is followed by the Miocene Epoch. The Oligocene is the third and final epoch of the Paleogene Period. The Oligocene is often considered an important time of transition, a link between the archaic world of the tropical Eocene and the more modern ecosystems of the Miocene. Major changes during the Oligocene included a global expansion o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brachyplatystoma
''Brachyplatystoma'' is a genus of catfish from the family Pimelodidae. As the occasionally used common name goliath catfishes indicates, this genus includes some of the largest species of catfish, including the piraíba, ''B. filamentosum'', which reaches up to the region of in length. ''Brachyplatystoma'' are found in the Amazon and Orinoco basins, and other tropical freshwater and brackish habitats in South America. Some species are migratory. These fish are important as food fish and, to some extent, aquarium fish. Taxonomy ''Brachyplatystoma'' originates from Greek ''brachys'', ''platys'', and ''stoma'', which mean ''short'', ''flat'', and ''mouth'' respectively. This genus was described in 1862 by Pieter Bleeker. The type species is ''B. vaillantii''. The subgenus ''Malacobagrus'' is applied to ''B. capapretum'', ''B. filamentosum'', ''B. rousseauxii'', and the extinct species ''B. promagdalena'', which only is known from fossil remains.
