Abstract
Jenynsia tucumana new species is described from the upper Río Salí basin, province of Tucumán,
northwestern Argentina. The new species is diagnosed by the possession of a row of dark markings
ranging from dots to small vertical stripes from the tip of adpressed pectoral fin to the posterior
margin of the hypural. Also, the new species has a mandibular canal pore W and a symmetrical
fifth anal-fin ray in adult males; whereas the females lack a urogenital swelling. According to a
phylogenetic reanalysis of the genus, the new species is sister to most species of the subgenus
Jenynsia, except for J. onca and possibly J. sanctaecatarinae.
Key words: Jenynsia, new species, Tucumán, Argentina, phylogeny
Introduction
The genus Jenynsia Günther is comprised of 11 species of small viviparous fishes, which
are diagnosed by the possession of tricuspidate teeth in the outer mandibular series in
adults, and an unscaled tubular gonopodium formed principally by anal-fin rays 3, 6, and 7
(Parenti, 1981). This genus is distributed in the Río de la Plata basin, coastal Atlantic
drainages from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil to Río Negro Province in Argentina, and in the
endorheic Río Salí–Dulce basin, in northwestern Argentina.
In his phylogenetic analysis of the family Anablepidae, Ghedotti (1998) recognized
two clades within Jenynsia, which were formally recognized by him as the subgenera
Plesiojenynsia and Jenynsia. Two new species have recently been described from
southern Brazil, Jenynsia weitzmani Ghedotti, Downing–Meisner & Lucinda and J. onca
Lucinda, Reis & Quevedo. According to the phylogenetic framework put forward by
Ghedotti (1998); these species belong in the monophyletic subgenera Plesiojenynsia and
Jenynsia, respectively.

In Argentina four species of Jenynsia are represented, all in the subgenus Jenynsia. Of
these, only J. pygogramma Boulenger and J. maculata Regan have their type localities
within the country. In the upper Río Salí basin, in Tucumán, two species of this genus
were cited as Jenynsia sp. A and Jenynsia sp. B (Butí & Miquelarena, 1995). The first of
these species corresponds to the broadly distributed Jenynsia multidentata (Jenyns), and
the latter is the new species herein described. The purpose of this paper is to describe
Jenynsia tucumana n. sp. from the Río Vípos, Tucumán, Argentina, and to discuss its
phylogenetic relationships.
Material and Methods
Material examined is deposited in the following collections: Fundación Miguel Lillo,
Tucumán (CI–FML), and Asociación Ictiológica, La Plata (AI), both in Argentina; and in
the Academy of Natural Science of Philadelphia (ANSP), USA. Specimens were cleared
and counterstained (C&S) following Taylor & Van Dyke (1985). Nomenclature of sensory
canal system follows Gosline (1949). Measurements are straight distances taken with
caliper to the nearest 0.02 mm (Fig. 1); and expressed as a percentage of standard length
(SL) in Table 1. Interorbital width is the shortest distance between the bony margins of the
orbits. Following Ghedotti and Weitzman (1995) and Lucinda et al. (2002), the last two
rays in the dorsal fin of all specimens and in the anal fin of females were counted as
separate elements; gill rakers were counted from the ventral limb of first gill arch; and
vertebrae were counted considering the hypural complex as one element. Numbers in
brackets following the counts indicate the number of specimens for each count. An
asterisk indicates holotype counts. In comparative material the number in brackets
following the number of examples in each lot indicates the measured specimens.

The new species was included in the phylogenetic framework proposed by Ghedotti
(1998), Ghedotti et al. (2001), and Lucinda et al. (2002) (codification of the new species
presented in Table 2). The multistate characters which states follow a logical sequence
(i.e. could be interpreted as internested homologies) were considered to be additive
(characters 19, 30, 40, 46 and 58 of Ghedotti’s 1998 matrix); the additivity in this case
only reflects degrees of similarity and is independent of any consideration on the sequence
in which these characters evolved (Lipscomb, 1992; Goloboff, 1997). This treatment
differs from the analyses of Ghedotti (1998), Ghedotti et al. (2001), and Lucinda et al.
(2002), in which the authors neither ordered nor weighted differentially the characters.
Character 46 (length of anal-fin ray five in adult male) was split because it involves two
sequences of independent changes. This character was redefined as the length (character
46) and symmetry (character 71) of the fifth anal-fin ray in adult males as follows:
— Length of anal-fin ray five in adult male: (0) long, approximately as long as ray three;
(1) intermediate, between one-quarter and three-quarters length of ray three; (2) short,
less than one-quarter length of ray three.
— Symmetry of anal-fin ray five in adult male: (0) symmetric; (1) asymmetric, with one
side short and the other side intermediate.

According to Ghedotti (1998), the males of Jenynsia eigenmanni (Haseman), J.
sanctaecatarinae Ghedotti & Weitzman, and J. alternimaculata (Fowler) have an
asymmetric fifth anal-fin ray. In these species, character 46 was codified as inapplicable
(?) and character 71 as asymmetric (state 1); in the remaining species character 71 was
codified as symmetric (state 0).
A cladistic parsimony analysis was performed with TNT (Goloboff et al., 2003a) by
using implicit enumeration; this is the most exhaustive method, which compares all
possible trees, applicable in this case given the small size of the matrix. This program was
used because, according to a recent review (Meier & Ali, 2005), "TNT represents a
milestone in parsimony analysis." Other reviews are equally favorable (Hovenkamp,
2004; Giribet, 2005).
The analysis was made under implied weighting (Goloboff, 1993), an improvement
over the successive weighting method (Farris, 1969) implemented in Hennig86 (Farris,
1988), which was designed to down-weight characters according to its homoplasy. The
aim of these procedures is to reach a classification that maximizes the influence of the
more reliable characters at the expense of the more homoplastic ones. The fit of each
character is calculated with a concave function of its number of extra steps (i. e. the more
homoplastic, the less fit); the preferred tree(s) is(are) that(those) which maximizes the total
fit. The weighting strength (i. e. how strongly homoplastic characters are down-weighted)
is determined by modifying a concavity constant (K). We also performed an analysis
under equal weighting in order to compare the results with previous papers. Nodal support
was calculated with symmetric resampling (1000 replicates, with 10 addition sequences,
saving up to 10 trees each) expressed as values of GC (groups present/contradicted), with a
change probability of 0.33 (Goloboff et al. 2003b) and relative Bremer support (Goloboff
& Farris, 2001), saving up to 5000 suboptimal trees.
As in previous papers (e. g. Lucinda et al., 2002), we performed both unconstrained
and constrained analyses; the latter following the outgroup topologies of Parenti (1981)
and Meyer & Lydeard (1993). Analyses were rooted in Profundulus labialis (Günther).
As the resultant ingroup topology was the same, we present only the results of
unconstrained searches.

Diagnosis. Jenynsia tucumana n. sp. is distinguished from other members of the
genus by the possession of a row of dark markings ranging from dots to small vertical
stripes, on the lateral surface, from the tip of the adpressed pectoral fin to the margin of
hypural (Fig.2).
Among the remaining species of the genus only Jenynsia alternimaculata has vertical
stripes, but its pattern is different from that of the new species (two occasionally three
rows of dorsoventrally elongate markings on the lateral surface of body vs. one row of
short vertical stripes or dots in the new species). These differences are further elaborated
below under “Results and Discussion”. Jenynsia tucumana may also be distinguished
from J. alternimaculata by the possession of a mandibular canal pore W, a wide prootic
bridge, and a symmetric fifth anal-fin ray of the tubular gonopodium; from J. pygogramma
by the number of predorsal scales (15–16 vs. 19–25); from J. multidentata, J. maculata
and J. lineata (Jenyns) by the absence of a swelling between the urogenital opening and
the anterior base of the anal fin in females; from J. sanctaecatarinae by the absence of a
rounded spot on dorsal pectoral-fin base; and from J. onca by the absence of a large dorsal
convex expansion at subdistal segments of right half of sixth anal-fin ray of adult males.
Jenynsia tucumana can be distinguished from J. eirmostigma Ghedotti and Weitzman, J.
weitzmani, J. eigenmanni, and J. unitaenia Ghedotti and Weitzman by the absence of a
long posterodorsal process of the lachrymal and a shorter fourth anal-fin ray in the
gonopodium.

Distribution. Jenynsia tucumana n. sp. is known from Río Vípos, Río Calera, and
Río Grande; all of which are in the upper Río Salí basin (Fig. 4).
FIGURE 4: Distribution of Jenynsia tucumana. Open dot indicates type locality.
Etymology. The specific epithet tucumana means “from Tucumán” province in
Argentina, where the type locality is situated.
Remarks. This species mainly inhabits moderate to slow flowing streams with rocky
bottom and algae on the substrate, where it is sympatric with Jenynsia multidentata.
Results and Discussion. Jenynsia tucumana shares two uniquely derived characters
with the members of the subgenus Jenynsia (Ghedotti 1998): the lack of segmentation on
the proximal and distal quarters of sixth anal-fin ray in adult males and the vertically
inclined proximal radials associated with the first six anal-fin rays in the gonopodium.
The unique coloration pattern distinguishes the new species from the remaining
species of the genus. Although the pattern in J. tucumana resembles that of Jenynsia
alternimaculata (i.e. vertical stripes on lateral surface of body), the former species has
only one row of markings vs. two or three in the latter (see Fig. 4 in Ghedotti & Weitzman,
1996). In addition J. alternimaculata has the left and right halves of anal-fin ray five
asymmetric; this apomorphy, shared with J. sanctaecatarinae, is absent in J. tucumana in
which both halves are similar in size. Jenynsia alternimaculata also has, as an
autoapomorphic condition, a narrow prootic bridge, which is an additional character to
distinguish this species from J. tucumana and from the remaining species of the genus.
A single, most parsimonious tree of 147 steps was obtained with concavity constants
(K) ranging from 0.0001 to 6 (Fig. 5b), and in concavities from 7 to 100, the most
parsimonious tree, with 146 steps, is one of the four most parsimonious trees under equal
weights (Fig. 5a,c). Low concavity constants and equal weighting (or high concavity
constants) represent opposite extreme cases in which the homoplastic characters are

almost ignored, or are considered as reliable as the perfectly hierarchic ones respectively.
Since the results produced by either extreme are very similar, those results clearly do not
depend entirely on decisions of whether (or how strongly) to weight characters.
Regardless of weighting strength, Jenynsia tucumana belongs to the subgenus
Jenynsia. The relationships of the new species vary slightly between the analyses
performed due to differing relationships of J. sanctaecatarinae, as in the analysis of
Lucinda et al. (2002). The latter species is the sister group of J. alternimaculata under
concavities 0.0001 to 6, and the sister group of J. onca under concavities 7 to 100; under
equal weights, J. sanctaecatarinae collapses basally to J. tucumana. Thus, position of the
new species is basal to the remaining species of the subgenus Jenynsia, except J. onca and,
for concavities below 7, also J. sanctaecatarinae.
FIGURE 5: Topologies of most parsimonious trees and relative bremer support/GC values under a—equal
weights (strict consensus of 4 trees), b—concavities K=0.0001 to 6 (with supports measured under K=4) and,
c—concavities K=7-100 (with supports measured under K=8) are shown. Question marks in GC values
represent negatives values, which are an artifact of the method, assigned to weakly supported nodes.
Unsupported nodes are shown as collapsed. The relationships of outgroups and genera of the family are
consistent which those proposed in previous studies, therefore Anableps, Oxyzygonectes, and outgroups are not
shown.

Five species of Jenynsia are present in Argentina: the widely distributed J.
multidentata and the exclusively northwesterly distributed J. alternimaculata, J. maculata,
J. pygogramma and J. tucumana. Jenynsia multidentata was considered to occur in
lowlands (Ghedotti & Weitzman, 1996 and Ghedotti, 1998), but we have found it together
with J. tucumana in highland streams at 1200 meters above sea level. The distribution of
the genus in northwestern Argentina coincides with the proposed extension of the
Paranean Sea, in the Middle-Upper Miocene (Aceñolaza & Sprechmann, 2002); this sea
would have extended westward on the Brazilian/Uruguayan platform, flooding a big area
of central-northern Argentina and central Paraguay, and may have acted as a barrier
between southeastern Brazilian–Uruguayan and northwestern Argentine populations/
species (compare fig. 1 of Aceñolaza & Sprechmann, 2002 with fig. 29 of Ghedotti, 1998).
Also, the northwestern Argentina species (or its ancestor/ancestors) probably was/were
coastal species before the recession of the Paranean Sea and now are restricted to
highlands. Nevertheless, this is only a hypothesis that could be corroborated or refuted
only with additional information on the systematics and evolutionary history of the genus.
