Mimagoniates barberi Regan, 1907

Mimagoniates barberi Regan, 1907b:402 . Type locality: Arroyo Yâcá , Estación Caballero, Paraguay. [ Paraguay, (arroyo Yâca [= Yhaca, also Yaca], near Estación Caballero; arroyo Yhaca is at 25°39’S, 56°53’W and Caballero is at 25°40’S, 56°49’W (Menezes, Weitzman, 2009)]. Lectotype: BMNH 1907.10.22:5. [Designation by Schultz (1959:63)].

Distribution: 343, 344, 345 (Menezes, Weitzman, 2009; Mantinian, Miquelarena, 2010).

Mimagoniates inequalis (Eigenmann, 1911)

Glandulocauda inequalis Eigenmann, 1911c:169 , Pl. 5 (fig. 5). Type locality: Porto Alegre. [ Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, (rio Guaíba “in front of town”), approximately 30°02’S, 51°12’W ( Menezes , Weitzman , 2009)]. Holotype: FMNH 54893 .

Mimagoniates lateralis (Nichols, 1913)

Coelurichthys lateralis Nichols, 1913:151 . Type locality: These two small aquarium fishes were presented to the American Museum of Natural History by Mr. William Mack, of New York. There was no accompanying data, but they are probably South American. Holotype: AMNH 4072 .

Coelurichthys tenuis Nichols, 1913:152 . Type locality: These two small Aquarium fishes were presented to the American Museum of Natural History by the New York Aquarium Society. There was no accompanying data. Holotype: AMNH 4087 .

Distribution: 330, 331 (Menezes, Weitzman, 2009).

Remarks: Weitzman, Fink, 1985:106 formally placed Coelurichthys tenuis Nichols, 1913 as synonym of Mimagoniates lateralis (Nichols, 1913) and thus acted as first revisers in establishing priority. Both Nelson, 1964 and Géry, 1966b:230 previously questioned the validity of two (versus one) species. See discussion in Menezes, Weitzman, 2009:303. Although Menezes, Weitzman (2009) mentioned that Coelurichthys tenuis was considered a synonym of M. lateralis by Menezes, Weitzman, 1990, such a statement is not present in the latter publication and the synonymy might have been only implied.
