Abstract
The present dissertation is a study of the systematics and phylogeny of the Neotropical catfish family Auchenipteridae, including the phylogeny of the superfamily Arioidea, which includes the families Ariidae, Mochokidae, Doradidae, and Auchenipteridae. The superfamily Arioidea is a monophyletic group based on a series of characters from the Weberian apparatus, the basicranial region and the muscles associated with the spring mechanism. The family Ariidae, including the Madagascan genus Ancharius, is the most primitive taxon of the Arioidea and the sister group of the clade formed by Mochokidae, Doradidae and Auchenipteridae; the family Mochokidae is the sister group of the Doradidae and Auchenipteridae. Based on the results of the phylogenetic analysis, using 151 anatomical characters, the family Auchenipteridae is redefined. It includes the previously recognised families Centromochlidae, Asterophysidae, Trachycorystidae and Ageneiosidae. The Auchenipteridae is a monophyletic group supported by characters related with the urogenital apparatus in adult males and females and the maxillary barbel. The family Auchenipteridae is composed of the subfamilies Ageneiosinae, Auchenipterinae, Centromochlinae and Trachelyopterinae, with the taxon Pseudotatia (incertae sedis) being the sister group of the subfamilies Trachelyopterinae and Ageneiosinae. A further analysis of the anatomy of the Auchenipteridae is presented, including osteology, myology, lateral line system and nervous system. The main discoveries of the anatomical analysis include: 1) the presence of a modified parietal in catfishes; 2) the mechanism for the movement of the maxillary barbel for certain groups of catfishes; 3) the organisation of the joint mechanism of the pectoral spine, called here the "pseudosynovial joint", which is present in most of the teleosts; 4) the osteological and muscular organisation of the branchial apparatus, pectoral and dorsal fin in catfishes; 4) the osteological organisation of the trigeminofacial region in catfishes. In the present study a new genus is described (Amplexiglanis) and two new species of the genus Parauchenipterus (P. gili and P. machadoallisoni),a new species of Trachelyichthys (T. lopezrojasi) and three new species of Tatia (T. ferrarisi, T. petermilleri, and T. narbaizai) are described. The genera of Auchenipteridae are redefined and its diagnosis is presented. Fourthly one species from the Orinoco River basin is reported including an artificial key to genera and species.
