Aphanotorulus rubrocauda n. sp. Loricariidae

Post by lfinley58 »

A new species of Aphanotorulus (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from the rio Aripuanã basin, Brazil by Andreza S. Oliveira, Lúcia Rapp Py-Daniel and Cláudio H. Zawadzki.
Neotropical Ichthyology vol.15 no.1 Maringá 2017 Epub 30-Mar-2017. Ahead of print.
ABSTRACT
The cis-Andean genus Aphanotorulus was recently revised and comprises six valid species: A. ammophilus, A. emarginatus, , A. horridus, A. phrixosoma and A. unicolor. Herein, a new species is described from tributaries of the rio Aripuanã basin, in Amazonas and Mato Grosso states, Brazil. The new species is easily distinguished from congeners by its color pattern: caudal fin with upper lobe mostly hyaline with dark spots along rays and membranes, and lower lobe red and without dark spots; and absence of dark spots in the lateral series of mid-ventral plates.

@Horlack,PLEASE could you check before posting, this new species was listed just 7 posts down and you have ALREADY posted about it. I've merged your duplicate into this. I know you are trying to help, and it is appreciated, but this just wastes time to moderate.

Cheers,

Jools
