DIAGNOSIS: Rhaphiodon vulpinus can be distinguished from all other cynodontines by the placement of the dorsal fin on the posterior third of the body length ( figs. 26 View Fig , 28 View Fig ) (predorsal distance being 69.3–74.4 versus 52.2–61.1 of SL in all other cynodontines), by its very elongate body relative to its depth (body depth at dorsalfin origin 12.7–19.6 versus 19.1–33.7 of SL in all other cynodontines), and by a higher number of vertebrae (62–68 versus 44–54 in all other cynodontines). It can be further distinguished from all Hydrolycus species by the insertion of the dorsal fin slightly posterior to the vertical through the analfin origin (anterior to that point in Hydrolycus ) and from Cynodon by the lower number of analfin rays (38–50 versus 61–80 in Cynodon ).
DESCRIPTION: (table 3) Body very elongate, compressed laterally, greatest body depth at vertical through pectoralfin origin, depth decreasing posteriorly. Dorsal profile of head slightly concave, ranging from barely concave to straight in specimens smaller than 50 mm SL; degree of concavity varies depending on degree of bending in region posterior to head at time specimen was preserved. Predorsal profile of body straight to slightly concave; slightly posteroventrally slanted at dorsalfin base, proportionally less slanted from that point to vertical through last analfin ray; concave between latter point and origin of dorsalmost procurrent caudalfin ray. Ventral profile of body convex to pelvicfin origin, convexity more pronounced anteriorly, less so between vertical through innermost pectoralfin ray and pelvicfin origin; straight to analfin origin, posterodorsally slanted along analfin base, straight to origin of ventralmost procurrent caudalfin ray. Ventral surface of body with keel from isthmus to anus, interrupted at vertical through pelvicfin base; keel anteriorly supported by expanded coracoids.
No serrations at margin of opercular bones. Laterosensory canal system in infraorbitals and opercular bones highly branched; canals progressively more pronounced in larger individuals, canals absent in specimens under 50 mm SL.
Mouth obliquely aligned relatively to horizontal axis of body, angle of mouth relative to horizontal plane varying depending on degree of flexure posterior to head at time of specimen preservation. Upper jaw very long relative to head length; posterior tip of maxilla extending slightly beyond vertical through posterior tip of second infraorbital in specimens under 40 mm SL, progressively shorter in larger individuals, not reaching that point in the largest specimens examined.
Second and third infraorbitals not in contact with preopercle posteriorly. Snout short er than orbital diameter. Adipose eyelid with notch in region of orbital margin at vertical through middle of second infraorbital.
Teeth in both jaws conical, in single row, varying in size. Teeth in upper jaw partially covered by skin laterally, smaller teeth only with tips apparent. Premaxilla delimited by one canine anteriorly and one canine, slightly smaller, posteriorly; one large conical tooth located between two canines, placed closer to posteriormost canine; several small conical teeth between anterior and posteriormost canines; maxilla with conical teeth of variable size anteriorly, teeth gradually becoming smaller and of more similar size posteriorly. Dentary with one very well developed canine extending through snout when mouth closed, tip of canine reaching nostrils anteriorly; canine larger relative to head length in larger specimens; two conical teeth anterior to largest dentary canine, anteriormost smallest; canine teeth posterior to largest dentary canine varying in size, separated by small conical teeth; teeth gradually decrease in size posteriorly. Specimens under 60 mm SL with row of very small conical teeth internal to main series posteriorly. Teeth on ectopterygoid, mesopterygoid, and metapterygoid small and conical.
Scales without distinct serration. Scales small, larger laterally at level of lateral line. Scales along predorsal midline arranged in somewhat irregular rows. Scales below lateral line obliquely arranged. Lateralline scales with many divergent branches of the lateralline canal. Divergent branches more pronounced in larger individuals; lateralline canal without branches in specimens under 60 mm SL; specimens of 180 mm SL with one ventrally and one dorsally directed branch of lateralline canal. Lateralline canal extending to posterior tip of middle caudalfin rays.
Dorsalfin rays ii,10. Dorsalfin origin located on posterior third of body length, slightly posterior to vertical through analfin origin. First basal dorsalfin pterygiophore inserting behind neural spine of 35th (rarely 34th) to 38th vertebrae. Distal margin of dorsal fin slightly convex; diminutive scales on dorsalfin base, extending onefifth of distance of fin ray on membrane between fin rays, to lesser extent on remaining rays, scales not as extensive in individuals under 170 mm SL, absent in individuals under 60 mm SL. First basal analfin pterygiophore inserting behind hemal spine of 36th (rarely 35th) to 38th vertebrae. Distal margin of anal fin straight. Anal fin covered with scales over half of length of fin rays, more so in larger specimens. No scales covering analfin rays in specimens under 60 mm SL. Pectoralfin rays pointed distally. Posterior tip of longest pectoralfin ray extending to a point far anterior to vertical through dorsalfin pelvicfin origins. Pelvic fin very short. Pelvicfin rays i,6–7. Pelvic fin pointed distally with first and second branched rays longest. Tips of fin reaching anus. Pelvicfin base inserted at level of ventral profile of abdomen. Caudal fin almost straight, dorsal lobe slightly convex; caudal fin covered with scales for approximately twothirds of length of middle rays; degree of coverage decreasing toward dorsal and ventral procurrent rays. Middle caudalfin ray longest, its tip extending posteriorly to vertical through tip of dorsalmost principal ray, more pronounced in larger individuals, those under 60 mm SL without prominent middle caudalfin ray.
VERTEBRAE: 62(1); 64(4); 65(7); 66(10); 67(8); 68(1).
COLOR IN ALCOHOL: Specimens retaining guanine on scales with silver coloration on sides of body and head (including lower jaw, except for tip) as far dorsally as horizontal through dorsal margin of orbit. Head and body tan to brownish dorsally, including tip of lower jaw. Specimens under 60 mm SL with silver coloration on abdominal region, remaining portions of body yellowishtan ground coloration.
Specimens lacking guanine with tan ground coloration on sides of body and head, slightly darker dorsally. Specimens from the Rio Negro have a much darker ground coloration of body and head, with region of head around orbit and opercular region with more conspicuous dark pigmentation. Specimens retaining pigmentation on fins with dorsal fin slightly dusky; dorsal portion of pectoral fin covered with dark chromatophores at its base and outermost fin rays. Caudal fin dusky posteriorly, sometimes with tips of finrays dark. Adipose fin hyaline.
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION: Main rivers and their tributaries in the Amazon basin from the Río Ucayali system in Peru, eastward to Rio Xingu in Brazil; Rio Tocantins and Rio Capim basins; lower to upper portions of Río Orinoco basin; Rupununi River in the upper Essequibo River system in Guyana; Rio Parana´/ Paraguay, and Uruguay basin, south to Río de la Plata in Argentina ( fig. 27 View Fig ).
GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION: The population samples herein identified as Rhaphiodon vulpinus from the Río Orinoco, Rio Amazonas, Río ParaguayParana´, and Río Uruguay systems, except for a few specimens detailed below, either agree, or show a very large degree of overlap in all meristic and morphometric characters studied.
Three large specimens ( MZUSP 32808 View Materials , 578– 604 mm SL) from the upper portions of the Rio Xingu in Brazil, have a considerably higher number of lateralline scales (142 in one specimen, 150 in two specimens) and branched analfin rays (50 in all three specimens) compared to specimens from the remaining portions of the species range (122– 138 and 38–47 for lateral line scales and branched analfin rays respectively), including specimens from the lower portions of the Rio Xingu. Until more specimens from the region become available for study, the cited specimens are tentatively assigned to Rhaphiodon vulpinus .
See above under Color in Alcohol for geographical variation in color patterns.
REMARKS: Rhaphiodon vulpinus was described on the basis of a single specimen collected by Spix and Martius in the rivers from Brazil (‘‘Brasiliae fluviis’’). The type locality of Rhaphiodon vulpinus was not located precisely. Papavero (1971; map following page 66) described the itinerary of the Spix and Martius collecting trip. Rhaphiodon vulpinus occurs in all portions of the Amazon basin where they collected. Within the Rio Paraná system they collected in a few tributaries of the upper Rio Parana´. Some specimens examined in the present study come from the Rio Paraná itself, and lower portions of a few of its tributaries. Therefore, its is possible that the holotype of Rhaphiodon vulpinus originated in the Rio Paraná basin. Kottelat (1988) commented on the status of the Spix and Martius specimens that Agassiz used as the basis for his descriptions and cited the specimen in the collection of the Musée d’Histoire Naturelle, Neuchâtel (MHNN 822) as the potential holotype. That specimen was examined in the present study ( fig. 28 View Fig ) and it is herein regarded as the holotype of Rhaphiodon vulpinus Agassiz, 1829 . The proportional depths at the pelvic and pectoralfin origins in this specimen lie slightly outside the range observed for all other specimens used as the basis for the morphometric characterization of this species (table 3). The differences may be preservation artifacts in this very old specimen.
The holotype of Hydropardus rapax Reinhardt, 1849 (ZMC 183), herein placed in the synonymy of Rhaphiodon vulpinus , was also examined ( fig. 29 View Fig ). The length of the dentary canine is relatively higher than the maximum value found in the remaining specimens of R. vulpinus in which this feature was measured (19.3 versus 12.1–17.9 of HL for R. vulpinus ). As mentioned in the description above, the dentary canine is larger relative to head length in larger specimens. Since the holotype of Hydropardus rapax is the largest examined specimen herein assigned to Rhaphiodon vulpinus , the higher value for the relative size of the dentary canine observed in the specimen may be a function of its larg er size. A few meristic features of Hydropardus rapax also lie outside the range presented by the remaining Rhaphiodon vulpinus specimens (table 3). The holotype of Hydropardus rapax has 121 lateral line scales, 27 scales around the caudal peduncle, and 37 branched analfin rays (versus 122–125; 30– 39, and 38—50, respectively, for Rhaphiodon vulpinus ). The holotype of Hydropardus rapax comes from Montevideo, Uruguay. Whether the specimen was actually collected in Montevideo or was shipped from there to Europe may be resolved after translation of the original description published in Danish. As already mentioned above under Geographic Variation, no meristic or morphometric differences were found among the samples examined that conform to any geographical pattern. Specifically, specimens from the Río Parana´/ Paraguay, and Uruguay basins do not show a tendency toward lower values for the meristic features mentioned above for Hydropardus rapax that could suggest that the latter would be distinct from Rhaphiodon vulpinus .
Rhaphiodon is the most widely distributed cynodontine genus in South America and also the least speciose. Hydrolycus and Cynodon do not occur south of the Amazon basin in the Río Parana´/ Paraguay and Río Uruguay basins. Four Hydrolycus species were recognized two of which were previously undescribed. Three Cynodon species were recognized two of which was previously undescribed. Only one species was recognized within Rhaphiodon . Widely distributed characiform species, that occur throughout the major river drainages in South America (i.e., Río Orinoco, Rio Amazonas, Río Parana´/ Paraguay and Río Uruguay basins) are not limited to cynodontines. Other examples include Curimatella dorsalis (Eigenmann and Eigenmann, 1889) , recently revised by Vari
(1992b), and Thoracocharax stellatus (Kner, 1859) , see Weitzman (1960: 220).
