The enigmatical names of Brazilian Apistogramma's species

[K-Pon]

What this are species concretely ?
On several StoskLists I found (for me unclear) Apistogramma's species . Can someone tell me what exactly are they ? (maybe A-numbers) ?

1.. Apistogramma sp-assurimin
2.. Apistogramma sp-cachoeira
3.. Apistogramma of sp-boa vista
4.. Apistogramma super xingu
5.. Apistogramma super tapajos
6.. Apistogramma agassizi tucurui
7.. Apistogramma sp-caeté
8.. Crenicihla cf nofthlamus alenquer

Has someone some photos or links to photos ?

These are commercial names made by the exporter or importer. None are names published in books or magazine articles. Without seeing the fish it is impossible to know what you have.

Crenicichla nofthlamus could probably be a misspelling of crenicichla notophthalmus.

 

[Mike Wise]

True, but C. notopthalmus is from the upper Rio Negro - nowhere near Alenquer. It is more likely to be C. regani.

 

[Gillie]

It sounded logical, but like you said they are commercial names so they could be anything. I did find one picture of the regani alenquer and if it is actually that fish it is a really nice form compared to the typical regani.

 

[Mike Wise]

Two different species of apistos from the Alenquer area have been labeled as "A. regani": A. geisleri Smaragd/Emerald and A. cf. taeniata Alenquer.

Hello,i think number 7 is possible apistogramma caetei(http://www.aquahobby.com/zeco/especie_g.php?gen=Apistogramma&esp=caetei)

Number 3 would have to be Rupunini

Number 3 would have to be Rupunini

or A. gibbiceps, A. roraimae, A. wapisana, A. sp. Rupununi Savanna, or ??? There are several apisto species that are collected near Boa Vista (Amazonas state). Then there are several other Boa Vistas in Brazil.

 

[chris1932]

When I got fish called BoaVista they were Rupununi, twice.

 

[Anubias Design]

Boa Vista = rupunini

Mike,
I know that list and that exporter. The fish they send as Boa Vista have always been rupunini. The others are not as consistent.
