A New Species of Listrura from Laguna dos Patos System, Brazil: The Southernmost Record of the Glanapteryginae (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae)

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Villa-Verde, Leandro, Ferrer, Juliano, Malabarba, Luiz R. (2013): A New Species of Listrura from Laguna dos Patos System, Brazil: The Southernmost Record of the Glanapteryginae (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae). Copeia 2013 (4): 641-646, DOI: 10.1643/CI-13-027, URL: https://doi.org/10.1643/ci-13-027Listrura depinnai, new species, is described from a small swampy area belonging to Laguna dos Patos system, Municipality of Viamão, Rio Grande do Sul state, southern Brazil. It occurs within the wildlife reserve Refúgio de Vida Silvestre Banhado dos Pachecos, and represents the southernmost record of the glanapterygine catfishes. The new species is easily distinguished from remaining Listrura by having the following putative autapomorphies: the region below the midline of flank covered by several spots (vs. unpigmented or with a slender row of small spots); the caudal peduncle at procurrent-ray folds deeper than the preanal portion of body (vs. approximately the same depth); and the presence of a conspicuous intumescence adjacent to the posterodorsal margin of the pectoral-fin base (vs. swelling slight or absent). Putative phylogenetic positions of Listrura depinnai are herein discussed.
