GASTÓN AGUILERA* & JUAN MARCOS MIRANDE* *CONICET-Fundación Miguel Lillo, Sección Ictiología. Miguel Lillo 251. CP 4000. San Miguel de Tucumán, Tucumán, Argentina. E-mail: gastonaguilera@csnat.unt.edu.ar, mcmirande@tucbbs.com.ar 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. Accepted by C. Gilbert: 21 Oct. 2005; published: 16 Dec. 2005 29 1096 ZOOTAXA 1096 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.

(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. A NEW JENYNSIA © 2005 Magnolia Press 31 ZOOTAXA 1096 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. Comparative material (SL in mm).

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.

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 36 © 2005 Magnolia Press AGUILERA & MIRANDE 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. A NEW JENYNSIA © 2005 Magnolia Press 37 ZOOTAXA 1096 ZOOTAXA 1096 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. Acknowledgements We thank C.
