page 96, mid-page, uyenois should be uyenoi
Page 146, line 4, “INI” should replace “INAE” to give TRIBE ERIMYZONINI
Page 146, line 7, “INI” should replace “INAE” to give TRIBE THOBURNIINI.
Page 181, under Family CLAROTEIDAE (155), line 3, “Bargidae” should be “Bagridae”.

Page 220, lines 1-2. Six fossil genera are listed rather than the stated five. I had intended to place Parenchodus as a junior synonym of Enchodus and state: Five genera, Enchodus (synonym Parenchodus), Eurypholis, Palaeolycus, Rharbichthys, and Saurorhamphus. This follows Fielitz (2004) mentioned near bottom of page 219.

Page 336, line 16, “following four species” should read “following five species”.
Page 432, SUBFAMILY TRICHIURINAE (HAIRTAILS), of Family TRICHIURIDAE (474). For comment on species numbers see below under “Family TRICHIURIDAE (474).”
Page 474, for Family 178, correct spelling of Diplphidae to Diplophidae
Page 497, the reference to “de Pinna (1998)” was omitted. It is:
de Pinna, M. C. C. 1998. Phylogenetic relationships of neotropical Siluriformes (Teleostei: Ostariophysi): historical overview and synthesis of hypotheses, pp. 279-330. In L. R. Malabarba, R. E. Reis, R. P. Vari, Z. M. S. Lucena, and C. A. S.Lucena (Eds.), Phylogeny and classification of neotropical fishes. EDIPUCRS, Porto Alegre, Brasil.
Page 517, regarding the book by “Miller, R. R., W. L. Minckley, and S. M. Norris.” Although the book is dated (copyrighted) 2005, the first copies of the book were mailed from the publisher on 19 Jan 2006 (pers. comm., S. M. Norris). It should thus be dated “2006 (dated 2005)”.

“Family TRICHIURIDAE (474), SUBFAMILY TRICHIURINAE (HAIRTAILS).”
Warning on bone names—please see mid-page xi of the Preface.
Warning on the future of ichthyological positions—Support the need to have ichthyological positions filled in museums and universities when ichthyologists retire. We and many of the species we study seem endangered. As stated on page 9, “Unfortunately, while there is a growing need for a young generation of taxonomists/systematists, there are concerns that this need will not be met unless there are changes in government and public support for future positions.” The need is serious! It would be our error and societies loss if this need left unattended. |
