ENDANGERED species , *CATFISHES , *COLOR , *PECTORAL fins , *VENOM glands , *ENDEMIC species - Abstract
Colour patterns are diverse in trichomycterine catfishes and are often used to diagnose species. Here, we analyse the first case of adults of two syntopic species of Trichomycterus sharing nearly identical colour patterns: a rare new species of the subgenus Paracambeva and Trichomycterus maculosus, a distantly related species of the subgenus Trichomycterus. Both species are endemic to the upper Rio Paraíba do Sul basin (RPSB), which had a different course until the Tertiary period and is situated within the Southeastern Brazilian Continental Rift, mostly active in the Eocene-Oligocene. A time-calibrated multigene analysis, 3144 bp, supported the new species as sister to Trichomycterus itatiayae, both comprising a lineage with Middle Miocene age, when that colour pattern would have first arisen. The new species is diagnosed by characters from the latero-sensory system and bone morphology. Our results, combined with available biogeographical data, indicated the colour pattern of T. maculosus arising in the Late Pliocene, following the dispersal of its group to the upper RPSB after river course changing. Two hypotheses for the independent origin of the same colour pattern are discussed. First, a case of evolutionary convergence for adaptation to live on a similarly coloured gravel substrate, giving some cryptic advantage against predators. Second, mimetic association through anti-predation features. In the latter case, although trichomycterids lack fin spines to inoculate venom as in other catfishes, the species here studied have a supposed axillary gland above the pectoral fin, just posterior to the opercular odontodes, but with properties and functions still unknown.

The Cambeva variegata group (CVG) is endemic to a region situated in the intersection of two endangered biodiversity hotspots, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest, and drained by two important South American river basins, the upper Rio Paraná and upper Rio São Francisco basins. Presently, CVG comprises two nominal species, besides some still undescribed. We first performed a molecular phylogenetic analysis (total of 3368 bp) for five species of the CVG and 30 outgroups, which supported the monophyly of the CVG and its inclusion in Cambeva. Most morphological character states distinguishing the CVG from congeners are also present in Scleronema, possibly consisting of plesiomorphic features. We also performed the first time-calibrated phylogeny of the group, which supported possible relationships between present geographical distribution patterns and palaeogeographical events. The estimated time of origin of CVG in the Middle Miocene is nearly contemporaneous to a past hydrographical configuration when part of the upper Rio Paraná basin was connected to the Rio São Francisco basin. The first CVG lineage split occurring in the Miocene end corresponds to a major break in that palaeo basin. Species diversification between the Pliocene and early Pleistocene is compatible with final drainage rearrangement. This study highlights the urgent need for more detailed studies on the diversity and phylogenetic relationships of still poorly known organisms in this highly diverse and threatened region.

CATFISHES , *MOLECULAR phylogeny , *SPECIES , *ENDEMIC species - Abstract
Psammocambeva exhibits the largest geographical distribution amongst the subgenera of Trichomycteruss.s., with its present northernmost represented by Trichomycterus tete, endemic to the upper Rio de Contas Basin in the Chapada Diamantina Region, north-eastern Brazil. Herein, we describe a new species recently collected in the Chapada Diamantina Region, but in the Rio Paraguaçu Basin, about 100 km north of the area inhabited by T. tete. A molecular phylogeny using one nuclear and two mitochondrial genes (2430 bp) supported the new species as sister to T. tete; both species are distinguished by colour patterns, morphometric data, relative position of dorsal and anal fins and osteological character states. The clade comprising the new species and T. tete, endemic to the semi-arid Caatinga biogeographical province, is supported as sister to a clade comprising species from the Rio Doce and Rio Paraíba do Sul Basins, in the Atlantic Forest biogeographical province. This study corroborated the Chapada Diamantina Region, a well-known mountainous biodiversity centre, as an important centre of endemism for trichomycterid catfishes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Venter greyish white with few sparse brown chromatophores. Fins hyaline with brown chromatophores forming minute spots, often melanophores forming black spots between dorsal limit of caudal peduncle muscles and skin fold supporting dorsal procurrent caudal-fin rays. Distribution, habitat and conservation Listrura urussanga is known from two neighbouring areas, one in streams tributary to the Lagoa Urussanga Velha, Rio Urussanga basin, the type locality, and the other in the Rio dos Porcos drainage, Rio Araranguá basin (Figure 4). Specimens were found close to the leaf litter bottom over fine gravel sediment on the stream bottom (Figure 5b). The region where this species was found is undergoing an intense process of urbanisation, and many areas are occupied by livestock and agriculture activities, leaving few areas with natural conditions. In addition, neighbouring streams are under intense environmental decline caused by new roads and urban pollution, making the habitat of the new species highly vulnerable. Etymology The name urussanga is a reference to the type locality of the new species near the Lagoa Urussanga Velha, Rio Urussanga basin. It is a non-Latin noun used in apposition. The name is probably derived from the Tupi-Guarani, meaning very cold water., Published as part of Costa, Wilson J. E. M., Feltrin, Caio R.

About 100 m below the type locality, the stream is highly impacted by both mining sediments and rice planting.

Cambeva betabelardense sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: E77B223C-C536-4729-B483-BC9B0AD3E8CE Figs 2D–F, 5–6 Diagnosis A small species, maximum recorded adult size 42.7 mm SL, diagnosed by the presence of a dorsal projection adjacent to the opercular odontode patch (Fig. 2E) and the combination of the following features: posterior nostril about equidistant from anterior nostril and from orbit; a compact broad autopalatine, its width about equal to its length excluding anterior cartilage and postero-lateral process (Fig. 2D); presence of an anterior broad and rounded projection on the interopercle (Fig. 2E); six pectoral-fin rays; 12 opercular odontodes; 30–34 premaxillary teeth; 32–34 dentary teeth; anterior jaw teeth incisiform, posterior teeth pointed; largest rays of the dorsal and anal fins shorter than respective fin bases; dorsal and anal fins subtrapezoidal; head width 73.7–78.5% of the head length; interorbital length 21.6–26.2%; mesethmoid thin, its width at the base of cornua about half autopalatine width (Fig. 2D); metapterygoid longer than deep, approximately triangular (Fig. 2E). Differential diagnosis Cambeva betabelardense sp. nov. is distinguished from all other congeners, except C. alphabelardense sp. nov., by the relatively more anterior position of the orbit, making the posterior nostril nearly equidistant from anterior nostril and orbit, a compact broad autopalatine, its width about equal to its length excluding anterior cartilage (Fig. 2D; vs. width conspicuously smaller than that length), and the presence of an anterior broad and rounded projection on the interopercle (Fig. 2E; vs. never a similar projection). Cambeva betabelardense sp. nov. is distinguished from C. alphabelardense sp. nov. by having more pectoral-fin rays (six vs. five), more opercular odontodes (12 vs. 6 or 7), more teeth on the premaxilla (30–34 vs. 20–23) and dentary (32–34 vs. 24–25), anterior jaw teeth incisiform, posterior teeth pointed (vs. all teeth pointed), largest rays of the dorsal and anal fins shorter than respective fin bases (vs. longer), a narrower head (head width 73.7–78.5% of the head length, vs. 83.5–91.3%), a narrower interorbital distance (21.6–26.2% of the head length, vs. 27.0–31.2%), a thinner mesethmoid, its width at the base of the cornua about one fifth of the distance between tips of cornua (Fig. 2D; vs. about one third, Fig. 2A), and a more slender metapterygoid that is sub-triangular and longer than deep (Fig. 2E; vs. sub-rectangular and deeper than long, Fig. 2B). Cambeva betabelardense sp. nov. also differs from all other congeners by the presence of a dorsal projection on the opercle adjacent to the odontode patch (Fig. 2E; vs. absence). Etymology The species epithet ʻ betabelardense ʼ (ʻbetaʼ, the second letter of the Greek alphabet, and ʻabelardenseʼ, Portuguese word referring to people born in Abelardo Luz municipality) is an allusion to the second new species described for this area.

Distribution and habitat Cambeva betabelardense sp. nov. is only known from two localities in the type locality area, in the middle Rio Chapecó drainage, Rio Uruguai basin, southern Brazil (Fig. 3), at altitudes between about 760 and 820 m a.s.l. At both localities, the stream was about 8 m wide, with bottom comprising small stones and gravel (Fig. 6). Cambeva betabelardense sp. nov. was collected in shallow places, about 30 cm deep, on the gravel bottom and associated vegetal remnants. Some vestiges of stream siltation at the type locality, probably as a result of the intense process of deforestation associated with soya plantations in the region, may be indicative that C. betabelardense sp. nov. is an endangered species.

Distribution and habitat Cambeva alphabelardense sp. nov. is known only from the type locality area in the middle Rio Chapecó drainage, Rio Uruguai basin, southern Brazil (Fig. 3). The type locality is situated in the headwaters of a narrow stream, altitude about 800 m a.s.l., with clearwater, clay bottom and dense marginal vegetation mainly composed of ferns (Fig. 4). This short area, about 600 m long, corresponds to a small residual fragment of the original vegetation consisting of a mixed rainforest. This area is now surrounded by a vast area occupied by soya plantations. However, there is no evidence of siltation in the stream. Cambeva alphabelardense sp. nov. was only found in the well-preserved residual fragment, where the stream was about three or four meters wide and about one meter deep. All specimens, collected with small dip nets (40 × 30 cm) during daylight, were found buried in vegetal debris (mostly tree ferns, and other plant remnants) on the bottom of stream banks. The well-developed marginal vegetation partially shades. Considering the small area occupied by the species, the high level of environmental decline around that area, and the unsuccessful attempts to find other similar biotopes in the region, C. alphabelardense sp. nov. should be regarded as highly threatened with extinction.

DIAGNOSIS. ��� Cambeva grisea n. sp. is distinguished from C. brachykechenos, the only other species of the C. brachykechenos complex, in having more pleural ribs (13-15, vs 12), anal and dorsal fins more posteriorly placed relatively to vertebrae (dorsal-fin origin in a vertical through centrum of the 20th or 21st vertebra, vs 19th; anal-fin origin in vertical through centrum of 23rd or 24th vertebra, vs 21st or 22nd), and a different colouration on the flank (pale brownish grey, sometimes with dark grey pigment irregularly distributed, vs dark brown with small light brownish grey spots). Cambeva grisea n. sp. also seems to be smaller than C. brachykechenos, with the largest specimen found reaching only 52.3 mm SL (vs 70.9 mm SL recorded for C. brachykechenos by Ferrer & Malabarba 2013). DISTRIBUTION. ��� Cambeva grisea n. sp. occurs in the eastern forested slope. It is known from the Rio Ararangu�� basin, in altitudes about 160-300 m asl (Fig. 14).

DIAGNOSIS. — Cambeva pericoh n. sp. is distinguished from all other species of the C. balios complex by the presence of large black blotches irregularly arranged and often partially coalesced on the flank (Fig. 2; vs never a similar colouration, Fig. 1; see also Ferrer & Malabarba, 2013: fig. 1). Cambeva pericoh n. sp. is similar to C. diffusa n. sp. and distinguished from C. balios in having a slightly posteriorly folded extremity of the dorsal process of the opercle (Fig. 12B, vs unfolded), a narrow postero-dorsal projection on the preopercle (Fig. 12A, vs no projection), and eight branchiostegal rays (vs nine). Cambeva pericoh n. sp. differs from C. diffusa n. sp. in having fewer dorsal procurrent caudal-fin rays (13 or 14, vs 17), more ribs (15, vs 12), and opercular and interopercular postero-dorsal odontodes only slightly wider and more curved than the other odontodes (Fig. 12B; vs opercular and interopercular postero-dorsal odontodes distinctively wider and more curved than the other odontodes, Fig. 12A). DISTRIBUTION. — Cambeva pericoh n. sp. occurs in the western open plateau. It is known from three localities in the Rio Pelotas drainage, upper Rio Uruguai basin, in altitudes between about 1170 and 1210 m asl (Fig. 14). ETYMOLOGY. — The name pericoh is an allusion to the occurrence of the new species in the Rio Pericó, its type locality. The name probably has a Tupi-Guarani origin, but its meaning is uncertain.

R. M. Feltrin; 14.III.2021; UFRJ 6979. DIAGNOSIS. — Cambeva diffusa n. sp. is distinguished from all other species of the C. balios complex by the presence of a lighter general colouration, highly differing by the presence of a great concentration of small dark brownish grey dots in a superficial skin layer, contrasting with rounded diffuse pale grey spots, almost inconspicuous, in a deeper layer (Fig. 1; vs never a similar colouration, Fig. 2; see also Ferrer & Malabarba 2013: fig. 1). Cambeva diffusa n. sp. is similar to C. pericoh n. sp. and distinguished from C. balios in having a slightly posteriorly folded extremity of the dorsal process of the opercle (Fig. 12A, vs unfolded), a narrow postero-dorsal projection on the preopercle (Fig. 12A, vs no projection), and eight branchiostegal rays (vs nine). Cambeva diffusa n. sp. differs from C. pericoh n. sp. in having more dorsal procurrent caudal-fin rays (17, vs 13 or 14), fewer ribs (12, vs 15), and opercular and interopercular postero-dorsal odontodes distinctively wider and more curved than other odontodes (Fig. 12A; vs opercular and interopercular posterodorsal odontodes only slightly wider and more curved than other odontodes, Fig. 12B). DISTRIBUTION. — Cambeva diffusa n. sp. occurs in the western open plateau. It is known from three localities in the upper Rio Canoas drainage, Rio Uruguai basin, in altitudes between about 910 and 940 m asl (Fig. 14). ETYMOLOGY. — From the Latin, the name diffusa (diffuse) refers to the colour pattern of the new species, with diffuse grey spots in a deeper skin layer, overlapped by a great concentration of minute brownish grey dots, conferring a unique general colouration that is lighter than in close related congeners.

Cambeva notabilis n. sp. (Figs 9, 11I, 12I, 13I; Table 9) urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 7495C863-9AB2-4B1B-9822-CD30FE954F10 MATERIAL EXAMINED. ��� Holotype. Brazil ��� 1 ex., 71.7 mm SL; Santa Catarina State: Gr��o Par�� Municipality: upper Rio Bra��o Esquerdo, Rio Bra��o do Norte drainage, RioTubar��o basin; 28��08���02���S, 49��24���54���W; about 610 m asl; C. R. M. Feltrin; 17.II.2021; UFRJ 6965. Paratypes. Brazil ��� 1 ex. (C&S), 39.4 mm SL; collected with holotype; UFRJ 6966 ��� 1 ex., 65.1 mm SL; same locality as holotype; C. R. M. Feltrin; 2.III.2015; UFRJ 10513. DIAGNOSIS. ��� Cambeva notabilis n. sp. is distinguished from all other species of the C. tropeira complex, except C. urubici n. sp., in the presence of a black stripe along flank longitudinal midline during some life stage (vs black stripe along flank longitudinal midline always absent); in C. notabilis n. sp., the stripe is interrupted in the largest specimen (71.7 mm SL), forming a distinctive series of horizontally elongated black spots (Fig. 9), a colouration not seen in any specimen of other species of the C. tropeira complex (Figs 7, 8, 10). Cambeva notabilis n. sp. differs from C. urubici n. sp. in having fewer teeth in the premaxilla (39, vs 46-51) and dentary (31, vs 46- 51), and by the presence of round black spots irregularly arranged on dorsum (Fig. 9B; vs arranged in two dorsolateral longitudinal rows, often coalesced and forming stripes, Fig. 10B). Cambeva notabilis n. sp. is also distinguished from C. duplimaculata n. sp. in having fewer dorsal procurrent caudal-fin rays (13, vs 16 or 17); from C. longipalata n. sp. in having fewer vertebrae (39, vs 41 or 42), more opercular odontodes (14, vs 10 or 11), dorsal fin origin in a vertical through the centrum of the 21st vertebra (vs between 23rd and 24th vertebrae) anal fin origin in a vertical through the centrum of the 24th vertebra (vs 26th vertebra), and a wider body (10.4-12.4 % SL, vs 8.0-9.7 % SL); and from C. tropeira in having a well-developed pelvic fin (vs pelvic fin absent). Examination of a single cleared and stained paratype for bone and cartilage, indicates that C. notabilis n. sp. also differs from all other species of the C. tropeira complex by the possession of a long antorbital, about three fourths of the sesamoid supraorbital length (Fig. 11I, vs about half length of less, Figs 11G, H, J, K), and the absence of a dorsal constriction close to the opercular patch of odontodes (Fig. 12I), vs presence (Figs 12G, H, J). DISTRIBUTION. ��� Cambeva notabilis n. sp. occurs in the eastern forested slope. It is only known from the upper Rio Bra��o Esquerdo, Rio Bra��o do Norte drainage, Rio Tubar��o basin, altitude about 610 m asl (Fig. 14).

Feltrin; 14.III.2021; UFRJ 6983 • 2 ex., 33.5-38.0 mm SL; same data as for precedent; CICCAA 04110. DIAGNOSIS. — Cambeva urubici n. sp. differs from all other species of the C. tropeira complex in having more opercular odontodes (15 or 16, vs 10 – 14), more teeth in the premaxilla and dentary (46-51 in both, vs 38-41 in the premaxilla and 31-39 in the dentary), a unique colour pattern, comprising three longitudinal rows of black spots on the flank in juveniles, with spots of the median row coalescing to form a black stripe along lateral midline (vs never a similar colour pattern), a robust autopalatine with a nearly straight medial margin (Fig. 11K; vs autopalatine more slender, with concave medial margin, Figs G-J), and the presence of a pronounced lateral process on the sesamoid supraorbital (Fig. 11K; vs absence, Figs G-J). Cambeva urubici n. sp. is also distinguished from C. duplimaculata n. sp. in having fewer dorsal procurrent caudal-fin rays (13-15, vs 16 or 17); and from C. longipalata n. sp. in having fewer vertebrae (40, vs 41 – 42), dorsal-fin origin in a vertical through the centrum of the 21st vertebra (vs 23rd or 24th) and anal-fin origin in a vertical through the centrum of the 25th vertebra (vs 26th). DISTRIBUTION. — Cambeva urubici n. sp. occurs in the western open plateau. It is known from two localities in the upper Rio Canoas drainage, Rio Uruguai basin, in altitudes between about 910 and 940 m asl (Fig. 14). ETYMOLOGY. — The name urubici is an allusion to the occurrence of the species in the Rio Urubici, Rio Uruguai basin, southern Brazil, where is its type locality. This name is derived from theTupi-Guarani, but its meaning is unclear. DESCRIPTION General morphology Morphometric data in Table 10.
