description
(Figs 1 – 3, 9 B, 11) Type species: Arius grandicassis Valenciennes, 1840. Diagnosis Epiphyseal bar transversely elongate and longitudinally narrow (29, 0> 1); medial groove of cranium absent 30 (0> 1); vomer anterior margin very pronounced and acute (50, 0> 1); parasphenoid very wide in ventral view (66, 0> 1); posterior process of exoccipital absent (90, 1> 0); exoccipital bony crest parallel to vertebral column and mesially folded (92, 1> 2); sesamoid bone I irregularly shaped (145, 1> 2); accessory crest connecting transverse and median crests associated with neural spine of fourth vertebra present (204, 0> 1). Ambiguous optimization: Lateral horn of lateral ethmoid acute (11, 1> 0); interior margin of otolith straight or slightly irregular (71, 0> 1); anterior opening of aortic canal at base of subvertebral process and anteroventrally oriented (77,?> 1); ventral tip of subvertebral process acute (80,?> 2); adipose-fin base long (222, 3> 1); gas bladder lateral diverticula present (243, 0> 1). 440 • Marceniuk et al. Included species Notarius armbrusteri Betancur-R. & Acero P., 2006 Notarius biffi Betancur-R. & Acero P., 2004 Notarius bonillai (Miles, 1945) Notarius cookei (Acero P. & Betancur-R., 2002) Notarius grandicassis (Valenciennes, 1840) Notarius insculptus (Jordan & Gilbert, 1883) Notarius kessleri (Steindachner, 1876) Notarius aff. kessleri Notarius lentiginosus (Eigenmann & Eigenmann, 1888) Notarius luniscutis (Valenciennes, 1840) Notarius neogranatensis (Acero P. & Betancur-R., 2002) Notarius osculus (Jordan & Gilbert, 1883) * Notarius parmocassis (Valenciennes, 1840) * Notarius phrygiatus (Valenciennes, 1840) Notarius planiceps (Steindachner, 1876) Notarius aff. planiceps Notarius quadriscutis (Valenciennes, 1840) Notarius rugispinis (Valenciennes, 1840) Notarius troschelii (Gill, 1863). Habitat and distribution: Brackish and marine waters, eastern and western Central and South America (Fig. 9). Remarks The total-evidence analysis corroborates the monophyly, relationships, and species composition of Notarius as previously uncovered by molecular evidence (Betancur-R. et al. 2007; Betancur-R. 2009). The generic names Amphiarius and Aspistor, recognized as valid in previous morphological analyses (Marceniuk and Menezes 2007, Marceniuk et al. 2012), are treated herein as junior synonyms of Notarius. Genidentini tribe nov.
