Krobia petitella Steele, Liverpool & López-Fernández, 2013
01-Aug.-2013 — A new Krobia species from Guyana
Von Rico Morgenstern
Steele & al. (2013) have described a new species, Krobia petitella, from the Berbice River drainage in Guyana, bringing the number of formally named species in this genus to four. The new species is distinguished mostly by details of the (preserved) color pattern. Life colors are not recorded, and Krobia petitella seems to be unknown in the aquarium hobby. The paper contains a discussion of the generic status of Aequidens potaroensis and Ae. paloemeuensis, which are obviously closely related but differ from Krobia in a number of characters. Therefore, the authors suggest to refer to them as 'Aequidens' for the time being.
