Classification of the genus Nothobranchius. Nikita Savyolov. Posted on Thu, 16/09/2010 - 21:53 by Никита Савёлов About a year ago, I regretfully noticed that according to Russian-language Internet resources, for a few years there have been wanderings of the classification of the roving carp-teeth of 1999 and 2000. Since 2000, more than 10 new species of the genus Notobranchous have been described. A number of species have been rewritten. And although the site has a forum thread with information about the description of new species of carp-toots, but systematic coverage of the modern classification of the genus Notobranchius is absent. Realizing all the impossibility of the task, I decided to try. Smile N.sp.TSTS 10-05 The author expresses his deep gratitude to Sergey Torgashev for providing the photograph. In the first lines, I would like to note that a number of notorhanthos are divided by a number of researchers into five subgenera, and I will follow this tradition. It is common to divide subgenera into groups consisting of closely related and not very species. Below is a list of valid species of the genus Notobranchius. Species within a group or subgenus are arranged in the order of description, which facilitates the search for species described after 2000. In the list of references there are references to descriptions of new species. Genus Nothobranchius Peters 1868 Subgenus Nothobranchius Group N. melanospilus N. melanospilus (Pfeffer, 1894) N. vosseleri Ahl, 1924 N. interruptus Wildekamp & Berkenkamp, ​​1979 N. jubbi Wildekamp & Berkenkamp, ​​1979 N. elongatus Wildekamp, ​​1982 N. hengstleri Valdesalici, 2007 N. krammeri Valdesalici & Hengstler, 2008 N. lucius Wildekamp, ​​Shidlovskiy & Watters, 2010 N. makondorum Wildekamp, ​​Shidlovskiy & Watters, 2010 The N.orthonotus group N. orthonotus (Peters, 1844) N. furzeri Jubb, 1971 N. kadleci Reichard, 2010 ( N. kuhntae (Ahl, 1926)) Group N. rachovii N. rachovii Ahl, 1926 N. krysanovi Shidlovskiy, Watters & Wildekamp, ​​2010 N. pienaari Shidlovskiy, Watters & Wildekamp, ​​2010 Subgenus Adiniops Group N. guentheri N. guentheri (Pfeffer, 1893) N. palmqvisti (Lonnberg, 1907) N. patrizii (Vinciguerra, 1927) N. steinforti Wildekamp, ​​1977 N. foerschi Wildekamp & Berkenkamp, ​​1979 N. rubripinnis Seegers, 1986 N. annectens Watters, Wildekamp, ​​& Cooper, 1998 N. cardinalis Watters, Cooper & Wildekamp, ​​2008 Group N. korthausae N. korthausae Meinken, 1973 N. lourensi Wildekamp, ​​1977 N. eggersi Seegers, 1982 N. fuscotaeniatus Seegers, 1997 N. albimarginatus Watters, Wildekamp, ​​& Cooper, 1998 N. flammicomantis Wildekamp, ​​Watters, & Sainthouse, 1998 N. kilomberoensis Wildekamp, ​​Watters & Sainthouse, 2002 N. ruudwildekampi Costa, 2009 Subgenus Zononothobranchius Group N. taeniopygus N. taeniopygus Hilgendorf, 1891 N. rubroreticulatus Blache & Miton, 1960 N. brieni Poll, 1976 N. malaissei Wildekamp, ​​1978 N. polli Wildekamp, ​​1978 N. symoensi Wildekamp, ​​1978 N. kafuensis Wildekamp & Rosenstock, 1989 N. hassoni Valdesalici & Wildekamp, ​​2004 N. rosenstocki Valdesalici & Wildekamp, ​​2005 N. boklundi Valdesalici 2010 N. oestergaardi Valdesalici & Amato, 2011 Group N. ugandensis N. ugandensis Wildekamp, ​​1994 N. nubaensis Valdesalici, Bellemans, Kardashev & Golubtsov, 2009 N. sp. 'Lake Victoria' Group N. neumanni N. neumanni (Hilgendorf, 1905) N. seegersi Valdesalici & Kardashev, 2011 Types without a clear group membership: N. robustus Ahl, 1935 N. kirki Jubb, 1969 N. virgatus Chambers, 1984 Subgenus Aphyobranchius N. janpapi Wildekamp, ​​1977 N. luekei Seegers, 1984 N. willerti Wildekamp, ​​1992 N. geminus Wildekamp, ​​Watters & Sainthouse, 2002 Subgenus Paranothobranchius N. microlepis (Vinciguerra, 1897) N. ocellatus (Seegers, 1985) N. bojiensis Wildekamp & Haas, 1992 N. fasciatus Wildekamp & Haas, 1992 In the article describing Nothobranchius oestergaardi (Valdesalici S. and G. Amato, 2011), the authors provide an algorithm for determining the species they include in the N. taeniopygus group. It seemed to me somewhat irrational due to the presence of overlapping signs. Below, I tried to write my own algorithm, also based on the peculiarities of the coloration of living males. Algorithm for the identification of species of the group N. taeniopygus : La. Black edging of scales ........................................ Nothobranchius taeniopygus 1b. Red edging of scales ....................................... 2 2a.

Laughing out loud Login or register to post comments by Nikita Savyolov - 24/09/2010 - 22:09 N. fuscotaeniatus , of course, exists. I just missed it. I am happy to correct this mistake. N. sp. Lake Victoria, as well as the one placed in the brackets of N. kuhntae , which was rewritten as N. orthonotus (with which, however, still not everyone agrees) are placed here only to stimulate discussion on the taxonomy of notobranchies. I knew that you would react to these 'jambs', so I posted this post when you were with Streltsov in the Czech Republic. The most insulting is that if there is a working group on Notobranchies in the SKLIK, within a week nobody has reacted to all this! And this despite the fact that at least N. kuhntae and N. orthonotus are in SKLIKOVtsev and some thought about their kinship. N. fuscotaeniatus the same is (at least, was before the heat). Maybe I'm not right, but this situation in the professional community horrifies me.

And very offensive. : DONT_KNOW: Maxim, as far as possible, tries to update something there. But to him alone for the whole site does not break. I would like a closer dialogue on notobrancham. Many of them because of the heat have lost some species (I'm no exception). I would like to know who has what, who can share. Constantly there are new species. We need a joint effort to fix these species. And then we will only look at the fish in the pictures. In general, there is no end of work Smile !! Come on, Nikita, make up your mind and get on with it! And we all will help you, in this help! : HAPPY: Login or register to post comments Аватар пользователя BOULDA by BOULDA on 06/10/2010 - 09:11 Guys!

I think it's worth to add a group with an undefined status and transfer them to the right group as they are identified. In my interesting. Although on the other hand the list will be large, because populations in some species of Pts. a lot of. But I still think it's interesting to list all the famous specialists.
