Post by lfinley58 »

Carlos DoNascimiento, Juan Gabriel Albornoz-Garzón and Jorge Enrique García-Melo. 2019. A new driftwood catfish species of Tatia (Teleostei: Auchenipteridae) from the western Amazon River basin in Colombia. Ichthyological Exploration of Freshwaters, pp. 1-11. Published online 16 February 2019. DOI: http://doi.org/10.23788/IEF-1103

Abstract:
, new species, is described from terra firme streams of the Colombian Amazon. The new species is distinguished from congeners by its unique coloration pattern consisting of dorsal region of head and body cloaked in dark pigment, fading to pale towards ventral region; dorsal fin almost completely dark (excepting distal margin and last ray); narrow white bilobed band along base of caudal fin; and posterior margin of caudal fin with uniformly, darkly pigmented interradial membranes. Comments are provided on the phylogenetic affinities of Tatia caudosignata.
