I the post today is a small gem on a recently discovered new species of Pango, the news was given in June last year.
In the world of these little cobitidae there is still a bit 'of taxonomic confusion, just think of the classification of Pango kuhlii, P. semicincta and P. myers , which some are three varieties of the same species. And then the addition of a new species is interesting for the work that will hopefully be done on the genre.
The species in question is Pango shores discovered and classified by Renny Kurnia Hadiaty Ichthyologists and Maurice Kottelat, differentiating it from P. anguillaris (Kottelat & Lim, 1993) mainly due to the absence of pelvic fins and the lower number of vertebrae, 59. Of course, part of the group anguillaris. Found in the Mahakam River in East Borneo, characterized by strong currents and gravel surface and deciduous (typical habitat of Pango, ndr) and pH 5.
On the web sites they have already given notice, in Italy the first course was the ubiquitous Vergari.com Biggie , a preview of the article by Kottelat and Hadiaty can find here.
So I always choose fish confusing (after the experience with the bumblebee goby), I'm still trying to figure out if one of my is a P. Malayan or P. cuneovirgata . This is because importers classify everyone in the group Khul ... patience ...
