Why study neotropical electric fishes? A comprehensive inventory of Gymnotiformes is essential in order to completely understand the full breadth of diversity from all lineages of primary freshwater fishes in the Ostariophysi. In addition, Gymnotiformes are an excellent group to study processes underlying continental scale diversity due to their endemicity, monophyly and asymmetric specie…
The project SACI (South American Characiformes Inventory) focus on the taxonomic study of the Characiform and aims at the production of identification guides, atlases, catalogues and checklists of species, and phylogenetic studies of higher-level relationships among characiforms based on material already available in fish collections of participant institutions as well as representative s…

Hemigrammus geisleri was described based on specimens from Amazonian drainage near Óbidos, PA and Manaus, AM. It can be distinguished from the congeners by having a very characteristic coloration, which is transparent body in life, base of the anal fin with a black line, black spot on the caudal peduncle and posterior border of the dark back scales, forming a reticulated pattern. A prelim…
Xenurobrycon is a genus of the tribe Xenurobryconini, Stevardiinae, including six miniature species that occurs in the Amazon and Paraguay river basins. Even though the intergeneric relationships of Xenurobryconini have been evaluated in previous phylogenetic studies, there isn't any study that aim to understand the relationships within Xenurobrycon species. This proposal intends 1) to el…
The Neotropical region harbours the largest taxonomic diversities for several aquatic and terrestrial faunal groups in the world, with the most updated number of fish species registered is of about 8,000. Based on this massive diversity, reflections about tempo and mode of diversification in the group are justified, however, interpret in more detail the biogeographic history, as well as t…

The Neotropical region harbours the largest taxonomic diversity for several aquatic and terrestrial faunal groups globally; the most recently updated numbers for fishes reaches almost 8,000 species. Due to its megadiversity, investigation of the tempo and mode of diversification as well as other evolutionary aspects of these groups represent a major challenge for scientific researchers. A…
Crenicichla is the most speciose genus within South American cichlids, with 86 valid species distributed in almost all major river basins in cis-Andean South America, and Teleocichla is composed of eight Amazonian species. A group comprising the species of Crenicichla and Teleocichla was hypothesized as monophyletic by several phylogenetic analyses using morphological and molecular data. …
Anchoviella comprises schooling fishes, with marine, estuarine and freshwater habits distributed in South, Central and North America. Currently, 10 valid species of Anchoviella are recognized (Loeb, 2012), including Anchoviella lepidentostole Fowler, 1911, a marine species of commercial importance that occurs along Atlantic in South America coast, from Paraná, at baía de Paranaguá, to Ven…
