A new genus of Anostomidae (Ostariophysi: Characiformes): Diversity, phylogeny and biogeography based on cytogenetic, molecular and morphological data
文摘
Megaleporinus is described to include ten valid extant species. Megaleporinus is supported by morphological, cytogenetical and molecular data. At least four undescribed, cryptic species, were identified. Synapomorphies include a ZW sex chromosome system. Paleogeographic and hydrogeological events have likely driven Megaleporinus speciation.
