Abstract The present work is part of a process to create a Catalogue of the Freshwater Fishes of Colombia and consisted in the depuration and updating of the taxonomic and geographic components of the checklist of the freshwater fishes of Colombia. An exhaustive revision of the 1435 species recorded in 2008 was necessary to: 1. Add new species described since 2009 and species originally described from Colombia but inadvertently omitted in 2008; 2. Add new records of already described species; 3…

Revision of the South American catfish genus Hypophthalmus (Siluriformes, Pimelodidae) with descriptions of two new species from the Amazon and Orinoco Basins
TLDR
Four of the six available species names are validated and two new species are described in the pimelodid genus Hypophthalmus, and newly discovered characters of the vertebral column, circumoral barbels, pelvic fins, and lateralis sensory canals provide strong support and diagnostics for species and species-groups.

Annotated checklist of the freshwater fishes of Suriname
TLDR
In terms of species per square kilometer, the presently documented richness of the Surinamese freshwater fish fauna is comparable to, or even greater than, the richness of fish faunas of several other tropical South American countries.
A New Species of Trinectes (Pleuronectiformes: Achiridae) from the Upper Río San Juan and Río Condoto, Colombia
TLDR
Re-examination of these specimens and comparisons with all other described species of Trinectes support the conclusions of Hubbs and Bollinger that they are not Solea panamensis, now considered a junior subjective synonym of TrinECTes fonsecensis, and that they represent an undescribed species.
