A new species of the genus Hoplias (Characiformes, Erythrinidae), a tararira from the lower Paraná River, in Misiones, Argentina

We describe Hoplias mbigua , a new species of the genus from the lower Paraná, in Misiones, with tooth-bearing plates on dorsal surface of basihyal and basibranchi- als and medial margins of contralateral dentaries converging towards the mandibular symphy- sis in ventral view, characters that permit to include the species in the H . malabaricus group. The presence of five brown bands transversely placed on lower jaw distinguishes the new species from its congeners, excluding H . microlepis (vs. lower jaw straight or with small black or brown dots uniformly distributed). The number of circunpeduncular scales in H . mbigua is 20 whereas H. teres and H. malabaricus have 18 circunpeduncular scales and H . microlepis 22-24 and 12-16 gill rakers on first epibranchial (vs. about 9). Hoplias mbigua has convex dorsal profile between head and dorsal fin whereas H . teres has straight dorsal profile. Hoplias mbigua has a large supraopercle, with its anterior margin contacting the in- fraorbitals 5 and 6 whereas H . cf. malabaricus has a short supraopercle, with an anterior margin scarcely extended before anterior opercular margin. Hoplias mbigua has a large tooth- plate on basihyal and basibranchials instead of two lines of tooth-plates at sides of bones in H . cf. malabaricus .

Una nueva especie del género Hoplias (Characiformes, Erythrinidae), una tararira del Río Paraná bajo, en Misiones, Argentina”. Describimos Hoplias mbigua , una nue- va especie del género, procedente del bajo Paraná en Misiones, con dientes en la superficie dorsal de los basibranquiales y basihial y los márgenes del dentario convergiendo hacia la sínfisis mandibular en vista ventral, caracteres que permiten incluirla en el grupo de H . malabaricus . La presencia de 5 bandas pardas transversales en la mandíbula inferior distin- guen esta especie de sus congéneres, excluyendo H . microlepis (vs. mandíbula inferior lisa o con pequeñas manchas negras o pardas uniformemente distribuidas). El número de escamas circunpedunculares en H . mbigua es 20 mientras que H. teres y H. malabaricus tienen 18 y H . microlepis 22-24 escamas circunpedunculares y 12-16 rastrillos branquiales en el primer epibranquial (vs. alrededor de 9). Hoplias mbigua tiene perfil dorsal convexo entre cabeza y aleta dorsal y H . teres tiene perfil dorsal recto entre cabeza y aleta dorsal. Hoplias mbigua tiene supraopérculo grande, con su margen anterior en contacto con los infraorbita- les 5 y 6 mientras H . cf. malabaricus tiene supraopérculo corto, con el margen anterior apenas extendido delante del margen anterior del opérculo. Hoplias mbigua tiene placa grande con dientes, sobre basihial y basibranquiales en lugar de las dos hileras de placas dentadas en los laterales de los huesos en H . cf. malabaricus Fundación Miguel Lillo 2015-12-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://www.lillo.org.ar/journals/index.php/acta-zoologica-lilloana/article/view/148 Acta Zoológica Lilloana; Acta Zoológica Lilloana 59 (1-2) (2015); 71-82 Acta Zoológica Lilloana; Acta Zoológica Lilloana 59 (1-2) (2015); 71-82 Acta Zoológica Lilloana; Acta Zoológica Lilloana 59 (1-2) (2015); 71-82 1852-6098 spa http://www.lillo.org.ar/journals/index.php/acta-zoologica-lilloana/article/view/148/207
