Sternarchorhynchus curumim, a new species of tube-snouted ghost knifefish, is described from the main river channel of the Rio Tefé, in the lowland Amazon basin of Brazil. This species is diagnosed from congeners on the basis of body and fin pigmentation, meristic characters such as number of scales above the lateral line at mid-body, and morphometric characters such as relative body proportions. We also provide notes on the ecology and electric organ discharges of this species. Copyright © 2006 Magnolia Press. |
