Post by Unungy »

I have not been able to ID these beauties.

I've sent an email to Ian Fuller but I could not get an answer. Any idea will be gladly appreciated.

Sorry, not picked up on your e-mail, have been in Canada for the past week.

This looks similar to C151 from the Rio Tapajos.

They were collected in the Mato Grosso river, not in Tapajos. Please see map
Paranaíba - Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

I couldn't see a picture of the C151 in the catalog

Actually this is a closer match, but without checking map references I am not sure if it is in the range of your fish.I could not find a Rio Matto Grosso only the State of.

Mato Grosso Do Sul is the Brazilian state below Mato Grosso, it has in it a decent sized river by the same name.
