Sumary Four populations of Ancistrus cf. dubius (Loricariidae, Ancistrinae) were analyzed cytogenetically. They were from different rivers and creeks of the Pantanal Basin, in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The populations were from four distinct locations: population A (4F and 8M), Coxipó river, in the county of Chapada dos Guimarães; populatio...

Specimens of Clarias gariepinus and Heterobranchus bidorsalis were cytologically analysed while their serum protein was employed to characterize the two species. The diploid chromosome numbers for C. gariepinus and H. bidorsalis were 2n=56 and 2n=52 respectively. The nombre fondamental (NF) of C. gariepinus, and H. bidorsalis, were 51 and 49 respec...

The genus Hypostomus has a broad geographic distribution in Brazilian rivers and comprises armored catfishes with a very complicated taxonomy due to the absence of morphological autapomorphies. The existence of nearly 10 allopatric populations with different karyotypes suggests that Hypostomusancistroides represents a species complex in the Upper Paraná River basin. In this paper, an unusual karyotype of an isolated H. aff. ancistroides population was investigated. All specimens of this sample have 2n = 66 chromosomes except for 1 male with 2n = 67, most likely due to a supernumerary chromosome. In this population, the sexes are dimorphic, the males are heterogametic, and an XX/XY sex chromosome system is present. Phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial and nuclear DNAs indicated that this population forms a monophyletic group separate from the other populations of H.ancistroides and may represent an incipient species.
