Two new species of Pariolius

Post by bekateen »

Faustino-Fuster, D.R., López-castaño, J.A., Quiñones, J.M. & V. Meza-Vargas. (2024). Increasing the species diversity of the monotypic genus Pariolius Cope 1872 (Siluriformes: Heptapteridae) after more than 150 years. Zootaxa, 5433(3): 389-403
https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5433.3.6

Abstract is a heptapterid genus represented by P. armillatus that is distributed along the upper Amazon River basin. A taxonomic integrative revision of Pariolius from Colombian Rivers revealed two new species. Several approaches as morphological, morphometric, meristic, osteology and molecular data were used to distinguish between Pariolius species. The two new species are distinguished from congeners by the caudal-fin shape and numbers of rays, colorations patterns and several morphometric characters. The two new species of Pariolius are restricted to tributaries of the Upper Orinoco and Upper Negro rivers in Colombia.
This is the publication of the work reported HERE, from a dissertation HERE.

I do not have access to the Zootaxa publication to confirm that the specific and generic names proposed in the original dissertation are preserved here, so I'm not adding names yet. Both of these new species already have placeholders in the CLOG as and , respectively.

If someone has access to the paper and confirm the publication, I would appreciate a copy.

Cheers,
Eric

The genus characteristic description mentions "trp4" and references "figure 5" which isn't in the paper online. Anyone know what "trp4" is?

Cheers,
