Taxonomy and systematics of the herichthyins (Cichlidae: Tribe Heroini), with the description of eight new Middle American Genera

Abstract: In recent years great strides have been made for improving our understanding of the evolutionary relationships among neotropical cichlids, particularly within the clade Heroini and its crown clade the herichthyins. Most phylogenetic studies have largely converged on congruent topologies for relationships among species and major lineages within the herichthyins. One major aspect missing from previous studies of these cichlids is a formal taxonomic revision, including the redefining of genera. Based on analysis … Show more

“…Furthermore, separate molecular analysis by Concheiro-Pérez et al (2007), De la Maza-Benignos et al (2015), Hulsey et al (2004), López-Fernández et al (2010), León-Romero et al (2012), Mejía et al (2015), Magalhaes et al (2015), McMahan et al (2015) and Oldfield et al (2015) support the monophyly of the Nosferatu + Herichthys clade as well as separation between both genera. Moreover, the separate analysis of the mitochondrial gene Cox1 by León-Romero et al (2012), De la Maza-Benignos et al (2015), and Mejía et al (2015) reveal the existence of three clades in Nosferatu: 1) the bartoni clade (= phylogenetic group I sensu Mejía et al, 2015); 2) the steindachneri clade (= phylogenetic group II sensu Mejía et al, 2015); and 3) the pantostictus clade (in the study by León-Romero et al (2012) and Mejía et al (2015) some of the lineages of N. pantostictus are misidentified as H. cf.…”

“…En la actualidad el género Thorichthys se encuentra representado por ocho especies válidas: T. affinis (Günther 1862) de la vertiente del Atlántico, del Río Hondo, Quintana Roo, hasta Belice y Guatemala; T. aureus (Günther 1862) de la vertiente atlántica de los ríos de Belice a Honduras; T. callolepis (Regan 1904) de la vertiente del Atlántico, cabecera y tributarios superiores del Río Coatzacoalcos; T. helleri (Steindachner 1864) de la vertiente del Atlántico, del Río Tonalá hasta Guatemala; T. maculipinnis (Steindachner 1864) de la vertiente atlántica, del Río Chachalacas al Papaloapan; T. meeki Brind 1918 de la vertiente Atlántica del Río Tonalá, pasando por Belice hasta el Petén, Guatemala; T. pasionis (Rivas 1962) vertiente atlántica de la cuenca del Río Grijalva-Usumacinta; y T. socolofi (Miller & Taylor 1984) vertiente atlántica, en tributarios superiores de los ríos Grijalva y Usumacinta (Kullander 2003, McMahan et al 2015. Sin embargo existe al menos una especie que permanece sin ser descrita, a la cual los acuaristas han denominado Thorichthys sp.…”

“…Records of the Mexican tetra in Chiapas probably contain misidentifications as mentioned by Lozano-Vilano and Contreras-Balderas (1987) and Ornelas-García et al (2008), thus supporting the absence of this species in Southern Mexico. We have included Important and recent taxonomic changes made in the family Cichlidae by McMahan et al (2015) and Říčan et al (2016), the family Poeciliidae by Palacios et al (2016) and the family Profundulidae by Morcillo et al (2016).…”
