Description of a new species of Pareiorhaphis (Loricariidae: Neoplecostominae) from the rio Jequitinhonha basin, Minas Gerais, eastern Brazil

Abstract: A new species of the loricariid genus Pareiorhaphis is described based on specimens from several tributaries of the upper and middle rio Jequitinhonha basin, Minas Gerais State, eastern Brazil. The new species increases the number of known species of Pareiorhaphis to 25 and, at the same time, represents the second member of the subfamily Neoplecostominae reported from the rio Jequitinhonha basin. The new species is diagnosed from all remaining congeners by a putative autapomorphic feature related to the color … Show more

“…One such example of headwater taxa involves loricariid catfishes of the genus Pareiorhaphis . These rheophilic (fast-water) fishes usually show a narrow distribution, with 20 of 25 described species (80%) restricted to a single basin ( Pereira et al, 2017 ). One of the exceptions within the genus is Pareiorhaphis garbei (Ihering, 1911), a species found in four coastal basins of the Rio de Janeiro State in southeastern Brazil: Macaé, São João, Guapi-Macacu, and Santo Aleixo drainages ( Maia et al, 2013 ).…”
