ABSTRACT
Hemiancistrus cerrado is described from the tributaries of rio Araguaia, rio Tocantins basin. Hemiancistrus cerrado has external similarities with H. megalopteryx and H. punctulatus from coastal streams of southern Brazil, and can be distinguished by having a larger internarial width, 15.9-21.1 percent of head length (vs. 11.2-14.0 percent in H. megalopteryx and 11.2-13.9 percent in H. punctulatus) and, with little overlap, by the larger adipose-fin spine length, 9.4-13.6 percent of standard length (vs. 7.1-8.7 percent in H. megalopteryx and 7.4-10.0 percent in H. punctulatus). Hemiancistrus cerrado further differs from H. megalopteryx by having the pectoral-fin spine reaching maximally to the middle of the pelvic-fin spine when adpressed in adult males (vs. reaching tip). Hemiancistrus cerrado differs from other members of Hemiancistrus by color and numerous morphometric and meristic data.
RESUMO
Hemiancistrus cerrado é descrito de tributários da margem esquerda do rio Araguaia, bacia do rio Tocantins. Hemiancistrus cerrado possui similaridades externas com H. megalopteryx e H. punctulatus de drenagens costeiras do sul do Brasil, e pode ser separado das duas espécies pela maior distância entre as narinas, 15.9-21.1 por cento do comprimento da cabeça (vs. 11.2-14.0 por cento em H. megalopteryx e 11.2-13.9 por cento em H. punctulatus), e, com alguma sobreposição, pela maior nadadeira adiposa, 9.4-13.6 por cento do comprimento padrão (vs. 7.1-8.7 por cento em H. megalopteryx e 7.4-10.0 por cento em H. punctulatus); de H. megalopteryx ainda difere por espinho da nadadeira peitoral de machos adultos se estendendo até o meio do espinho da nadadeira pélvica quando adpressa (vs. se estendendo até a ponta do espinho). Hemiancistrus cerrado difere de outros congêneres pela coloração e diversos dados merísticos e morfométricos.
