Abstract

We report the first record of Platyclarias machadoi Poll, 1977 since its original description. This species was sampled by electrofishing in rapids on the Kwanza River upstream of Capanda Dam in Angola. Morphomet-ric and meristic data for the Kwanza River material were compared to published data from the Platyclarias type series. Osteology was compared between the Kwanza specimens and two Platyclarias paratypes using computed tomography (CT) scans. Prior to this discovery, the genus was known only from the Kwango River in Angola.

1977年安哥拉宽扎河Platyclarias machadoi Poll（志留目、Claridae）的再发现和范围扩展

本文报道了1977年Platyclarias machadoi Poll自原始描述以来的第一次记录。在安哥拉卡皮达大坝上游的宽扎河急流中采用电钓法对该物种进行了取样。将宽扎河材料的形态和分生数据与已发表的Platyclarias类型系列的数据进行了比较。利用计算机断层扫描(CT)比较了宽扎标本和两种侧翼侧翼的骨学特征。在此发现之前，该属只在安哥拉的Kwango河被发现。

期刊介绍： Check List is a peer-reviewed online journal, devoted to publishing biodiversity data related to species’ geographic distribution. Thus, our primary mission if to fill the so-called Wallacean shortfall (Lomolino 2004) and to improve our knowledge of how life is distributed on the planet in order to better preserve it. These data are essential for studies on biogeography and provide a baseline for the conservation of biodiversity. The first step to undertaking effective conservation action is to maintain records of the distribution of species. Therefore, the journal was created from the need publish basic data on species distribution of any taxon in a timely and open manner, which are often neglected by traditional journals. Check List is a bimonthly peer-reviewed online journal, and will consider for publication: -distribution summaries of a supraspecific taxon in a broad geographic area (e.g., hemisphere, country, biome), as a review of the distribution of a taxon in the given area. -annotated list of species, of a given taxon in a strict geographic area, with comments and illustrations on the identifications, based on original data. -notes on the geographic distribution, reporting new records of one or more species while providing a complete overview on the known distribution of the treated taxa. -book reviews on books related to biodiversity, biogeography, niche modeling, or any associated field that uses species distribution as its primary data source. -opinions on relevant subjects for the journal’s mission and scope
