 Crenicichla mandelburgeri, holotype. (photo from original description)
first record from Argentina: Crenicichla mandelburgeri Kullander, 2009 type locality: Paraguay, Itapúa, Arroyo Tembey above falls
distribution in Argentina (from publication): as Crenicichla cf. mandelburgeri - Misiones, arroyo Guaruhape en ruta 220, río Paraná basin - Misiones, arroyo Cuñapirú, in route 223 near Ruiz de Montoya, río Paraná basin - Misiones, arroyo Cuñapirú (arroyo Tucangua), río Paraná basin - Misiones, arroyo Chapa, ruta 6, río Paraná basin published in: Piálek, L., O. Rícan, J. Casciotta & A. Almirón (2010): Crenicichla hu, a new species of cichlid fish (Teleostei: Cichlidae) from the Paraná basin in Misiones, Argentina. Zootaxa 2537: 33-46 comment (from publication): We also confirm the presence of Crenicichla mandelburgeri in Misiones. Our material was compared with material from the type localities of C. mandelburgeri (both morphology and the ND2 gene sequences; not shown). This taxon, however, demonstrates geographical variation as well as phylogeographic structure (Fig. 1), and we thus cannot rule out the presence of a species complex; the specimens from Piray-Guazu (haplotypes C15, C17) that infringe on the monophyly of this species are therefore referred to as C. cf. mandelburgeri. |
