New Apistos in recent times

[HaakonH]

I was wondering if there's any online register of new Apisto discoveries (not just scientifically described species but new species in general)?
Is anybody here keeping track of these?
How many new species (and which) have surfaced in recent years?
I feel I could use some updating on this topic

Rolo has the best list on the internet that I know about at http://www.b-a-r-s-c-h.net. It is in German, but the names all are the same.

Agree and you could also go to the japanese website for photos of a lot of apistos.

By the way, besides some "sp." from the regani group (they all look very similar to me),
i remember the newest apistos in the hobby to me is
A. sp. Sunrise (discovered in 2003). So, are there other any interesting species discovered after that? ^.^

A. sp. Oregon is one. A. sp. aff. Peixoto has not been published yet, but David & I got specimens from Uwe Römer at the ACA convention in July. I'm not positive that it is a new species, but a new color morph of A. sp. Vielfleck/Multispot-A. sp. Xingu. The collecting locality is very different, but I don't trust it either. I expect to see new species arrive, now that it is collecting (low water) season in many parts of the Amazon.

Thanks Mike, yes, A. sp. Oregon (i nearly forget about this species
which is in my tank, hehe... it must be mad of me now)... A. sp. aff. Peixoto
is new to me while i guess it's another colour morph in the regani complex.

Anyhow, do look forward to more new beautiful species which can make the hobby more interesting
