“…2 – 4 ) alludes to a possible taxonomic inconsistency derived from Fowler ’s ( 1941 ) description of L. piau , as well as the geographic origin of the specimen analyzed in the present study, which was from the São Francisco basin. Fowler (1941) described Leporinus piau based on a type specimen from the Salgado River in the Jaguaribe basin of the Brazilian state of Ceará, but included a paratype from the Jatobá River, in the São Francisco basin, which led to the subsequent identification of most Leporinus specimens from the São Francisco River as L. piau ( Garavello & Britski, 2003 ; Carvalho et al, 2011 ). However, Silva-Santos et al (2018) , who analyzed nuclear and mitochondrial genetic markers, including COI, noted that the Leporinus specimens from the São Francisco basin represent a species distinct from L. piau from the type locality in the Jaguaribe basin.…”

Clearly, Fowler ’s ( 1941 ) inclusion of a paratype from a distinct hydrographic basin have contributed fundamentally to the taxonomic uncertainties surrounding L. piau .…”

Leporinus is one of the most speciose genera of the order Characiformes, with 81 valid species distributed throughout much of Central and South America. The considerable diversity of this genus has generated extensive debate on its classification and internal arrangement. In the present study, we investigated the species diversity of the genus Leporinus in central northern Brazil, and conclude that six valid species—Leporinus maculatus, Leporinus unitaeniatus, Leporinus affinis, Leporinus venerei, Leporinus cf. friderici, and Leporinus piau—are found in the hydrographic basins of the Brazilian states of Maranhão, Piauí, and Tocantins. We analyzed 182 sequences of the Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I gene, of which, 157 were obtained from Leporinus specimens collected from the basins of the Itapecuru, Mearim, Turiaçu, Pericumã, Periá, Preguiças, Parnaíba, and Tocantins rivers. The species delimitation analyses, based on the ABGD, ASAP, mPTP, bPTP, and GMYC methods, revealed the presence of four distinct molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs), identified as L. maculatus, L. unitaeniatus, L. affinis, and L. piau (from the Parnaíba River). The bPTP method restricted L. venerei to a single MOTU, and confirmed the occurrence of this species in the rivers of Maranhão for the first time. The separation of L. cf. friderici into two clades and the subsequent formation of different operational taxonomic units was consistent with polyphyly in this species, which indicates the existence of cryptic diversity. The arrangement of L. cf. friderici and L. piau in two different clades supports the conclusion that the L. piau specimens from Maranhão were misidentified, based on their morphological traits, reflecting the taxonomic inconsistencies that exist among morphologically similar species. Overall, then, the species delimitation methods employed in the present study indicated the presence of six MOTUs—L. maculatus, L. unitaenitus, L. affinis, L. cf. friderici, L. venerei, and L. piau. In the case of two other MOTUs identified in the present study, one (L. venerei) is a new record for the state of Maranhão, and we believe that the other represents a population of L. piau from the basin of the Parnaíba River.

“…En lo que se considera la primera lista de peces de Bolivia, Fowler (1940) incluye cuatro especies de rivúlidos, entonces todas incluidas en el género Rivulus. Las especies listadas coinciden con las previamente citadas por Myers (1927b), pero añade Anablepsoides beniensis (como Rivulus beniensis y su subespecie R. beniensis lacustris).…”

“…Las especies listadas coinciden con las previamente citadas por Myers (1927b), pero añade Anablepsoides beniensis (como Rivulus beniensis y su subespecie R. beniensis lacustris). Sin embargo, a pesar de que la descripción de A. beniensis se basó en las mismas muestras que fueron erróneamente identificadas como Laimosemion strigatum, Fowler (1940) no realiza la sustitución y mantiene a ambas especies en la lista. Este error es transcrito a varios listados posteriores (Terrazas-Urquidi 1970, Pouilly et al 2010, Carvajal-Vallejos & Zeballos 2011 y persiste hasta principios de la década de 2010.…”

The state of knowledge regarding rivulids in Bolivia is still limited and has some significant gaps. With the aim of synthesizing and systematizing the available information, which is often scattered, a monographic review is presented that examines the knowledge status of the Rivulidae family and provides an updated inventory of the species present in the country, based on valid records supported by voucher specimens deposited in scientific collections. The presence of 31 species of the Rivulidae family in Bolivian territory is confirmed, distributed across 10 genera and belonging to two subfamilies: Cynolebiinae and Rivulinae. Furthermore, it is validated that 58% (18 species) are endemic to Bolivia, while 25.8% (8 species) have a highly restricted distribution and are recorded only from their type localities. In the context of Bolivia, this work provides a solid foundation for future research and significantly contributes to the knowledge, and therefore the conservation, of this paradigmatic group of fish.

“…Evidence of the non‐monophyletic status of Imparfinis was supplied in the molecular study of Pimelodoidea by Sullivan et al (2013), which albeit was not focused on the internal relationships of Heptapteridae and its taxonomic sampling was scanty, showed that the only two species analysed ( Imparfinis cf. cochabambae and “ Imparfinis ” stictonotus , Fowler, 1940) do not form a monophyletic group. The most recent contribution dealing with the taxonomy of Imparfinis was Bockmann and Slobodian (2018), where they proposed a reduced circumscription of the genus by placing some species formerly in Imparfinis in several informal groups at the genus level.…”

An iterative analysis of Imparfinis, combining phylogenetic analysis based on cytochrome oxidase gene and multivariate morphometrics, revealed a new cryptic species from the Andean tributaries of the Orinoco River basin, which is described here. The new species is sister to a clade constituted by Imparfinis hasemani and Imparfinis pijpersi, both from the river basins of the Guiana Shield, being also the most geographically proximate species. Nonetheless, the new species is most similar in general appearance to Imparfinis guttatus from the Madeira and Paraguay River drainages, being almost undistinguishable by conventional characters of external morphology, differing only by morphometric attributes overall. The new species can be distinguished from the remaining congeners by a unique combination of characters, including lower lobe of caudal fin darker than upper lobe, maxillary barbel reaching or surpassing pelvic‐fin insertion, 12–15 gill rakers on first gill arch, 40–42 total vertebrae and 9–10 ribs. The new species constitutes the only representative from the Orinoco River basin belonging to Imparfinis sensu stricto.
