Missing types of Farlowella hahni rediscovered

Post by Silurus »

Koerber, S & MM Azpelicueta, 2021. Rediscovery of the missing type specimens of Farlowella hahni (Siluriformes: Loricariidae). Bulletin of Fish Biology 19: 97–103.

Abstract

The original syntypes of Farlowella hahni Meinken, 1937 have been considered to be lost since World War II. The recent rediscovery allowed us to compare these specimens with the original description and confirm their identity. The designated neotype is set aside as it loses the status of type specimen by the rediscovery of the original types. The Western arm of the río Paraguay’s mouth into the río Paraná just north of the city of Corrientes is determined as the original type locality.
