| Abstract | |
A new species of Aegla is described and illustrated from Alto Paranapanema (S & atilde;o Paulo State), a sub-basin of the Paranapanema watershed. The new species is compared to all seven species of Aegla currently known from the Paranapanema watershed using both morphological and mitochondrial genetic (COI) characters. Molecular sequence comparison analysis also suggested that several records from the Paranapanema watershed previously attributed to Aegla castro actually belong to different species. Opportunity is taken to provide a photograph of the holotype of A. castro (type locality Iap & oacute; River, State of Paran & aacute;, Tibagi sub-basin, Paranapanema watershed). (AU) | |
