Rediscovery and range extension for Platyclarias machadoi Poll, 1977 (Siluriformes, Clariidae) in the Kwanza River, Angola

Article scientifique 2023 Anglais

Résumé

We report the first record of Platyclarias machadoi Poll, 1977 since its original description. This species was sampled by electrofishing in rapids on the Kwanza River upstream of Capanda Dam in Angola. Morphomet-ric and meristic data for the Kwanza River material were compared to published data from the Platyclarias type series. Osteology was compared between the Kwanza specimens and two Platyclarias paratypes using computed tomography (CT) scans. Prior to this discovery, the genus was known only from the Kwango River in Angola.
