. Bonner zoologische Beiträge : Herausgeber: Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn. Biology; Zoology. Fig. 3: A small riacho discharging into the lower Rio Jaguaripe. (Photo: K. H. Liiling) Eye large, in the S. L., oblique, partly visible from above; abdomen flat, not colored. These characters suffice to separate the present small examples from the very common H. malabaricus, which has the eye vertical, somewhat smaller (18 to 20 in the S. L.), and the abdomen round and marbled. As far as known, the species is new for Eastern Brazil. Fam. Lebiasinidae Nannostom

Lebiasinidae Nannostomus sp. of the b e c k f o r d i Günther, 1872 complex Ca. 100 ex., largest 22 mm in S. L., from a small pound besides a riacho of the lower rio Jaguraipe, east of Salvador, State of Bahia, coll. K. H. Liiling, June 26, 1974 (St. SA 2). 3 small ex., id. (St. SA 3). 1 small ex., id., near a petrol station (Petrobras), not far from the lower rio Jaguaripe, coll. K. H. Liiling, june 29, 1974. The present specimens are characteristic of the well-known "species" N. beckfordi, which, according to several karyotypes studied by J. J. Scheel (pers. comm.), could eventually be composed of 2 or more "bio-species"..
