          Abstract

          Los registros paleoictiológicos del Plioceno temprano de la localidad de Farola Monte Hermoso, al sur de la provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina) son aún escasos y sesgados. Durante este lapso, dicha localidad habría estado vinculada a la paleocuenca del Río Colorado, por lo que se relacionaría con la Región Ictiogeográfica Austral. En la presente contribución se describe un nuevo género y especie de Percichthyidae de gran tamaño, procedente de los depósitos fluviales de la Formación Monte Hermoso, el cual comparte caracteres derivados con los géneros sudamericanos Percichthys y Santosius. Este hallazgo, conjuntamente con otros registros paleoictiológicos previos y análisis moleculares de taxones actuales, sugieren un recambio ictiofaunístico de importancia para el Neógeno tardío en la región Patagónica. De este modo, la conformación actual de la icitiofauna patagónica sería de reciente data, posiblemente a partir del Pleistoceno.

          Translated abstract

          The paleoichthyological record from the early Pliocene of Farola Monte Hermoso locality, southern Buenos Aires province (Argentina) is still patchy and biased. During such time span, this locality may be related to the Río Colorado paleobasin, and consequently may have been related to the Austral Ichthyogeographical Region. In the present contribution we describe a new genus and species of a very large Percichthyidae, coming from fluvial deposits of the Monte Hermoso Formation. The new taxon constitutes the sister group of the genera Percichthys and Santosius. This finding, together with other previous paleoichthyological records, as well as phylogenetic and phylogeographic molecular analyses of living taxa, suggest the existence of an ichthyofaunistic turnover for the late Neogene in the Patagonian region. In this way, the current composition of the Patagonian ichthyofauna would be of recent age, possibly from the Pleistocene.

          Fishes of the World

          <p>"Of all the literature I use while preparing field guides for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Nelson's Fishes of the World is, by far, the one I refer to most often. [This] book is a standard reference . . . I continue to use it extensively in the ichthyology courses I teach, particularly in laboratory sessions."<br> —Kent E. Carpenter Old Dominion University</p> <p>"Fishes of the World is a unique and essential resource for anyone seriously interested in the diversity and evolution of fishes. The family accounts provide quick summaries of current knowledge on all groups of living fishes and many key fossil taxa. It is a required work for every student in my laboratory."<br> —William E. Bemis Kingsbury Director of Shoals Marine Laboratory, Cornell University</p> <p>"Only classics are known by the single name of their author, and certainly [Nelson's book] has for four editions been such a book for all those who seek an accessible, up-to-date, readable reference on fish classification. Once again, Nelson presents a balanced view of the sometimes tumultuous, but ever-exciting, study of the phylogenetic relationships and classification of fishes. In doing so, Nelson makes an excellent case for organismal biology, highlighting the many and varied morphological characters we use to diagnose fish taxa and differentiate among the 515 families of living species."<br> —Lynne R. Parenti Curator of Fishes and Research Scientist, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution</p> <p>Fishes of the World, Fourth Edition is the updated edition of a true classic in the field. A unique presentation of a modern, cladistically based classification of all the major living and fossil fish groups, this indispensable reference helps scientists and others identify and classify specimens, make familial connections, understand the evolution of fishes, and springboard into further research.</p> <p>The taxonomy of fishes presented includes the anatomical characteristics, distribution, common and scientific names, and phylogenetic relationships for all 515 families of living fishes. Packed with representative species drawings and information on phylogentic relationships, this informative Fourth Edition features:</p> <ul> <li>Both fossil and extant species</li> <li>More than 500 illustrations</li> <li>Fully vetted scientific and common names</li> <li>An extensive bibliography</li> </ul>
