“…and its Caatinga congeners (Costa 2007) suggests that it may be a new species. The only species of the genus described for MNCE are: H. antenori (Tulipano, 1973), which occurs at the coastal basins east of Mundaú drainage, between Messejana municipality, in Ceará State, and Areia Branca municipality, in Rio Grande do Norte State (Costa 2007 (Albert et al 2011). Among the species labeled as new occurrences for MNCE, P. sarrafae was considered as endemic to Parnaíba river basin (Bragança & Costa 2011, and this is the first record outside Maranhão-Piauí ecoregion.…”

“…This ecoregion includes coastal basins located between São Francisco and Parnaíba river basins, draining Alagoas, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, and a small portion of Piauí States (Rosa et al 2003). Albert et al (2011) listed 88 freshwater fish species from MNCE; however, new species are being found and described (e. g. Parotocinclus seridoensis Ramos, Barro-Neto, Britski & Lima, 2013; Serrapinnus potiguar Jerep & Malabarba, 2014;and Hypsolebias martinsi Britzke, Nielsen & Oliveira, 2016). The estimative of freshwater fish species number at Brazilian Northeast may be premature, given the lack of taxonomic revisions and few representative regional collections (Rosa et al 2003;Langeani et al 2009.…”

Mundaú river basin is located at Center-North Ceará State and occupies a total area of 2,227 km2, including Estuário do Rio Mundaú Environmental Protection Area. This study aimed to catalog the fishes of this basin. Collections were performed with active and passive gear in 35 sampling sites, between 2012 and 2014, in several habitats (main channels, streams, floodplains, permanent and temporary pools, ponds, and dams). A total of 2,545 specimens were collected, belonging to 55 species distributed in 10 orders, 31 families, and 50 genera; 30 of these are strictly freshwater species, and 25 estuarine-marine species. Three species (Hemigrammus guyanensis Gery, 1995, H. rodwayi Durbin, 1909 and Poecilia sarrafae Bragança & Costa, 2011) represent new records for the Mid-Northeastern Caatinga ecoregion. Besides, two cynolebiid species, Hypsolebias sp. and Anablepsoides cearensis (Costa & Vono, 2009), were found and the latter, currently classified as critically endangered, had its occurrence area widened.

“…Most of this ichthyofaunal diversity is located in the Amazon basin (Amazon, Orinoco and Guiana basins), in which 2.354 (Albert et al 2011) or 2.411 (Reis et al 2016) valid fish species are included. Most of the major tributaries of the Amazon river basin, still lack an inventory of their fish species, including the rio Tapajós.…”

The fishes herein included were collected in four small streams of the upper rio Tapajós basin. Through fieldwork carried out in 2011, 2013 and 2014 during the low water season 1.728 specimens belonging to 22 species distributed in 11 families, and five orders were captured. Characidae was the most representative family both in number of species and specimens captured. The most abundant species were Hyphessobrycon melanostichos, H. hexastichos, and H. notidanos. Five species are recognized as new, and four as endemic to the upper rio Tapajós basin. This study represents the first fish inventory for the region and will provide valuable information for the conservation of the poorly known diversity of fishes of the Chapada dos Parecis, in the headwaters of the upper rio Tapajós basin.

Ictiofauna do alto rio Juruena na Chapada dos Parecis, Mato Grosso, BrasilResumo: Os peixes registrados aqui foram coletados em quatro igarapés da bacia do alto rio Tapajós. Expedições realizadas em 2011, 2013 e 2014 durante a estação de seca resultaram na coleta de 1.728 indivíduos pertencendo à 22 espécies distribuídas em 11 famílias e cinco ordens. Characidae foi a família com o maior número de espécies e espécimes capturados. As espécies com maior abundância foram Hyphessobrycon melanostichos, H. hexastichos e H. notidanos. Cinco espécies são reconhecidas como novas e quatro como endêmicas da bacia do alto rio Tapajós. Este trabalho representa o primeiro inventário sobre os peixes da região e fornecerá informações valiosas para a conservação da diversidade pouco conhecida de peixes da Chapada dos Parecis, nas cabeceiras da bacia do alto rio Tapajós.

“…Much to our astonishment, we found this to be the case in this study. ' Albert et al (2011) reviewed instances of paraspecies in fish and other animals, concluding that they are infrequent. However, Riesberg & Brouillet (1994) reached the opposite conclusion with respect to plants.…”
