Sternopygus
''Sternopygus'' is a genus of glass knifefishes found in tropical and subtropical South America (south to the Río de la Plata Basin), and Panama. They inhabit a wide range of freshwater habitats, from fast-flowing rivers to essentially static waters in floodplains, and shallow habitats to the bottom of deep rivers. ''S. macrurus'' will even visit brackish mangrove to feed. They are medium to large knifefish, with a maximum total length of depending on the exact species. They feed on invertebrates, small fish and fruits. Most members of Gymnotiformes are nocturnal, but ''Sternopygus'' are both nocturnal and diurnal. Species There are currently ten recognized species in this genus. * '' Sternopygus aequilabiatus'' ( Humboldt, 1805) * '' Sternopygus arenatus'' ( Eydoux & Souleyet, 1850) * '' Sternopygus astrabes'' Mago-Leccia, 1994 * '' Sternopygus branco'' Crampton, Hulen & Albert, 2004 * '' Sternopygus dariensis'' Meek & Hildebrand 1916 * '' Sternopygus macrurus'' (Bloc ...

Glass Knifefish
Glass knifefishes are fishes in the family Sternopygidae in the order Gymnotiformes. Species are also known as rattail knifefishes. These fishes inhabit freshwater streams and rivers in Panama and South America. Many sternopygid species are specialized for life in the deep (more than ) swiftly moving waters of large river channels, like that of the Amazon and its major tributaries where they have been observed swimming vertically. '' Sternopygus'' species inhabit both streams and rivers. Many species are highly compressed laterally and translucent in life. These fish have villiform (brush-like) teeth on the upper and lower jaws. The snout is relatively short. The eyes are relatively large, with a diameter equal to or greater than the distance between nares. The anal fin originates at the isthmus (the strip of flesh on the ventral surface between the gill covers). The maximum length is in '' Sternopygus macrurus''. ''Eigenmannia vicentespelaea'' is the only cave-dwelling gymnoti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Animalia
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echinode ...

Louis François Auguste Souleyet
Louis François Auguste Souleyet (8 January 1811 – 7 October 1852) was a French zoologist, malacologist and naval surgeon. Souleyet was naturalist-surgeon on the voyage of ''La Bonite'', which circumnavigated the globe between February 1836 and November 1837 under Auguste Nicolas Vaillant (1793–1858). In the Pacific he studied marine molluscs. After the death of Joseph Fortuné Théodore Eydoux (1802–1841), Souleyet completed the zoological section of the voyage's official report in 1852. Souleyet died of yellow fever in Martinique in 1852. He named a number of marine molluscs and fish, but most of his new taxa were validated two years earlier by John Edward Gray, who Latinized all vernacular names published earlier in an undated (1842 ?) atlas by Eydoux & Souleyet. He is himself commemorated in the scientific name of the streak-headed woodcreeper, ''Lepidocolaptes souleyetii'', named for him by DesMurs and in the Heteropod '' Protatlanta souleyeti'' by Edgar A. Smith in 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
