Phylogenetic position and taxonomic status of Anablepsoides, Atlantirivulus, Cynodonichthys, Laimosemion and Melanorivulus (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae)

Wilson J. E. M. Costa 2011

A maximum parsimony analysis of a combined set of mitochondrial and morphological data available in the literature for 33 rivuline taxa and three outgroups confirms Rivulus as a paraphyletic assemblage. In order to adjust a generic classification to our present phylogenetic knowledge on rivuline relationships, the following taxonomic changes are proposed: Rivulus, restricted to two species endemic to Cuba, is hypothesized to be the most basal rivuline lineage, distinguished from all other non-annual rivulines by having all hypurals fused into a single plate, neural prezygapophysis of caudal vertebrae rudimentary, fourth ceratobranchial teeth absent, about 50 % of the anterior portion of the caudal fin covered by scales, four neuromasts on the anterior supraorbital series, and a black round spot with white margin on the dorsoposterior portion of the caudal peduncle in females; Anablepsoides, Atlantirivulus, Laimosemion, Melanorivulus and Cynodonichthys, previously classified as subgenera of Rivulus, are considered as valid genera; Laimosemion, including 24 species from northern South America, constitutes the sister group to a clade comprising Melanorivulus, Cynodonichthys, Anablepsoides, Atlantirivulus, and all annual rivuline genera, which is supported by a well-developed dorsal process of the urohyal and an expanded lateral articular facet of the first hypobranchial; Melanorivulus, comprising 34 species from central and northeastern South America, Cynodonichthys with 27 species from Central America and Trans-Andean South America, Anablepsoides with 42 species from northern and northeastern South America and Smaller Antilles, and Atlantirivulus, with 11 species endemic to the eastern Brazilian coastal plains are diagnosed by combinations of morphological characters, including osteology, cephalic laterosensory system and colour patterns.

Huber, J.H., Reappraisal of the Phylogeny of Rivulus and its Allied focused on External Characters. Killi‐ Data Series 2012, 9‐25, 3 figs., 2 tabs.

Abstract: In the present study all known to date phylogenetic lineages encompassing the genus Rivulus in the large sense and its relatives, 44 in total, are benchmarked against a very long list of external characters involving global and detailed morphology of each, plus some characters related to biology, behavior and ecology, plus a few characters concerning the vertebrae counts and their structure. The parsimony analysis for these 144 characters results in 3 trees only, very much in line with the global stability of major lineages and the consensus tree produces bootstrap values that are much higher than previously released studies with morphological and osteological characters. In the resulting tree, outside Kryptolebias already separated in 2004, the genus Rivulus in the large sense is shown as a monophyletic assemblage like in the molecular study by Murphy, Thomerson & Collier (1999), with annual and non‐ annual species separated, but unlike Costa (2011) who used both morpho‐osteological and molecular combined characters. Apart from the coherence of the genus Rivulus in a large sense, the analysis newly suggests the primitive position of Millerichthys, the monophyly of major annual subclades, and the phylogenetic relationship of a clade of 3 subgenera of Rivulus, namely Prorivulus, Atlantirivulus, Melanorivulus in line with a previous palaeo‐bridge hypothesis and the minor osteological diagnostic characters that were forwarded for these 3 taxa should be deepened and re‐evaluated. Two other subunits of Rivulus, namely Anablepsoides and Oditichthys, are atypically placed in the tree, but their 2 type species were not studied by Costa (2011) and that too would need re‐evaluation. Finally several phylogenetic lineages belonging to the huge ‐and very poorly known‐ Amazon basin ends up in an unstable position and more material and characters are thought necessary for further research of this very difficult group of fish.

ABSTRACT

We describe a new species of the genus Atlantirivulus from a small first-order stream on the right margin of the Paraná River basin in the Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The region of occurrence of the new species is known to be a hotspot for Melanorivulus species. This area, however, is approximately 700 km away from the record of occurrence of its closest congeners, which are distributed along the Brazilian coast in different hydrographic basins. The new species is distinguished from all congeners by its unique coloration, which consists of the flank being purplish grey with light green iridescence along with brownish red dots scattered along of the body, by the neuromasts of the infraorbital series being aligned around eye, and by the presence of the short ventral process of the posttemporal. The phylogenetic position of the new species within the Atlantirivulus genus was based on molecular phylogenetic analysis using sequences of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit 1. The results show that the new species is closely related to A. luelingi from the coastal drainages of the Brazilian state Santa Catarina. The phylogenetic position of the new species among congeners endemic to coastal river basins may be related to ancestral connections between coastal drainages and the Paraná River basin. The new species constitutes the westernmost record for the genus, and the first record of Atlantirivulus in the Paraná River basin. Insufficient collection efforts in areas of potential occurrence for the group and extinction processes in the broad region between the locality of the new species and the distribution areas of the remaining species may be a possible explanation for this disjunct distribution.

 

Atlantirivulus guanabarensis W. J. E. M. Costa, 2014 

Four new species of the genus Atlantirivulus (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Abstract Material obtained from recent collections was used to revise taxonomy of the genus Atlantirivulus in the coastal basins of south – eastern Brazil, making possible to recognise four new species: Atlantirivulus maricensis, new species, from the rivers drainages connected to the Maricá lagoon system; Atlantirivulus guanabarensis, new species, from river drainages flowing into the Guanabara bay; Atlantirivulus paranaguensis, new species, from the river basins of the plain area adjacent to the Paranaguá bay; and Atlantirivulus ribeirensis, new species, from the Ribeira de Iguape river basin. All the new species herein described are members of the A. santensis species group, diagnosed by the lateral line being divided in two sections. Atlantirivulus maricensis is considered to be closely related to A. janeiroensis, A. jurubatibensis and A. nudiventris by all sharing a horizontally elongated female caudal spot, whereas A. guanabarensis seems to be more closely related to A. lazzarotoi and A. simplicis, by all having a high number of neuromasts in the section of infraorbital series around orbit, and A. paranaguensis seems to be more closely related to A. santensis by both having the anal and caudal fin margin highly black pigmented in males; relationships of A. ribeirensis among congeners is unclear, but the presence of intense yellow pigmentation on venter suggests close relationships with A. santensis. Characters used to diagnose new species include colour patterns, number of scales in the longitudinal series and vertebrae, and shape of caudal fin.

Rivulus jurubatibensis, a new species of the Rivulus santensis group, from a coastal swamp close to the Lagoa do Pires, Quissamã, Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil, is described. It is distinguished from all other species of the R. santensis group by having fewer scales in the longitudinal series. Rivulus jurubatibensis is considered to be closely related to R. nudiventris by both sharing two unique color patterns: caudal fin light yellow with a broad gray stripe on the whole fin margin in males and a small horizontally elongated black spot on the dorsal portion of the caudal-fin base in females. Rivulus jurubatibensis is distinguished from R. nudiventris by the presence of pelvic fin and by having fewer caudal-fin rays and fewer anal-fin rays.
