New year, new killies Each cue repeated twice is the beginning of an arrangement. (Cited in Frank Zappa) No time to start the year and are already published articles on new species of killifish.
will be happy as usual my friends killifisher.

The fish in question is
Nothobranchius Kadlec, an annual discovered and classified by Martin Reichard
in Mozambique, after a search began In February 2008, in which 12 people were recorded between the banks of the River Save and the south bank of the Zambezi.
Similar to N. furzeri (Jubb 1971), whose discoveries were made further south, is different from it to the reddish color of various parts of the body and some morphological differences in the fins.
beautiful fish, I must say, to the full article refer to the link on Zootaxa,
here . After the four new samples of 2009 is interesting to see that the first killies of 2010 is still a
Nothobranchius. The 2009 however, two other publications that are not yet I had treated and that I take this opportunity to do.
The first relates to another year, it is
Papiliolebias hatinne discovered and classified by M. Azpelicueta, C. Buti and G. García. The finds were made in the province of Salta, Argentina, in a temporary pond 5 km north of the basin of the Río Bermejo.
It differs from
Papiliolebias bitter, widespread in the basin of the Río Paraguay, for some morphological Call For Price, including where some differences in the jaw and in the teeth and the number of vertebrae and rays.
Another nice little fish, to read an extract from the article that was published in Revue Suisse de Zoology 116

The second treaty is
fish Aphanius mesopotamicus , discovered by Brian W.
Coad , which he had already spoken his last post Fabio. Reclassified using samples stored in the museum and no gathering in the field, has an area which goes from Iran Iraq, near the Persian Gulf. The differences with similar species, especially with
Aphanius Sophiaa (Heckel, 1849), who reside mainly in the morphology of A.
mesopotamicus and its pigmentation.

Well, Well begun is half done, the nice thing is that
N. Kadlec was probably already in the tanks of some passionate about a lot 'of time (such as those of Mark, ed), with another classification. Killifisher happening in the world, where allopatric speciation is common, especially in some genres, decades and entire populations are classified under a single species.
soon!
