Type locality: Rio Grande do Sul , Brazil (restricted to laguna dos Patos system by Malabarba, 1989:130 ). Astyanax laticeps . - Fowler, 1906:348 (designation of the holotype ). - Bertaco & Malabarba, 2001:233 (valid species, morphometric and meristic data of the types). Diagnosis. Astyanax laticeps belongs to the A . scabripinnis species complex and is distinguished from all species of this complex, except A . troya , by the presence of one horizontally elongate black humeral spot with a narrow anteroventral downward extension past the lateral line. Astyanax laticeps differs from A . troya by the presence of one humeral spot ( vs . two), one to three maxillary teeth with one to three cusps ( vs . one pentacuspid tooth), and the presence of bony hooks only on anal and pelvic fins ( vs . present in all fins, except pectoral fin of males). A similar oval humeral spot can be found in A . jacuhiensis (a sympatric species and member of the A . bimaculatus species group sensu Garutti, 1995 ). Astyanax laticeps differs from A . jacuhiensis by the absence of two bars in the humeral region, presence of a narrow anteroventral downward extension of the humeral spot past the lateral line, and one to three maxillary teeth ( vs. maxillary teeth absent). Note the differences between A . laticeps and A . obscurus in the diagnosis above. Astyanax laticeps differs from the holotype of A . scabripinnis by the predorsal distance (49.4-55.7 vs . 57.7% of SL), anal fin base length (21.3-28.7 vs . 30.2% of SL), and pelvic fin length (14.3-21.8 vs . 22.1% of SL). Description. Morphometric data summarized in Tables 1-2 . Body compressed and elongate; greatest body depth usually anterior to dorsal-fin origin. Dorsal profile of head between vertical through posterior nostril and tip of supraoccipital spine straight. Dorsal body convex profile from tip of supraocciptal spine to base of last dorsal-fin ray; straight from latter point to adipose fin origin. Ventral profile of body slightly convex from vertical through posterior nostril to pelvic fin insertion, nearly straight from that point to anal fin origin, and posterodorsally slanted along anal fin base. Caudal peduncle elongate, nearly straight to slightly concave in the dorsal and ventral margins. Snout rounded from margin of upper lip to vertical through anterior nostrils. Head small. Mouth terminal. Maxilla extending posteriorly to vertical through anterior margin of orbit, slightly curved, and aligned at an angle of approximately 45 degrees relative to longitudinal body axis. Maxilla slightly widened posteriorly. Two tooth rows in premaxilla; outer row with four to five* tricuspid teeth with central cusp longer; rarely, the most lateral teeth with two additional very small cusps. Five teeth in inner premaxillary row; teeth gradually decreasing in length from first to fourth teeth with last tooth distinctly smaller: teeth with three to five cusps with central cusp twice as long and broad as other cusps; rarely, two most lateral cusps present, but visible only in c&s specimens. Maxilla with one to three (two to three*) teeth with one to three cusps, with central cusp longest. Four anteriormost dentary teeth larger, with five cusps, followed by five to seven small teeth with one to three cusps. Central cusp in all teeth two to three times as long and broad as other cusps. All cusp tips slightly curved posteriorly towards inside mouth ( Fig. 8 ). Dorsal-fin rays ii,9* ( two specimens with ii,8, and five with ii,10, n = 140); first unbranched ray approximately half the length of second ray. Distal margin of dorsal fin nearly straight or slightly convex. Dorsal fin origin approximately at middle of SL. Adipose fin approximately at vertical through last anal-fin ray insertion.Anal-fin rays iii-v,15-23 (18-21*, mean = 19.5, n = 140). First unbranched ray normally only apparent in c&s specimens.Anal fin origin posterior to vertical through base of last dorsal-fin ray. Pectoral-fin rays i,10-14 (i,11-12*, mean = 12.2, n = 140). Pelvic-fin rays i,7* (n = 140). Pelvic fin origin slightly anterior to vertical through dorsal fin origin. Caudal fin forked, lobes similar in size, 19* principal rays. Dorsal procurrent rays 11-13, and ventral procurrent rays 10-11 (n = 14). Lateral line complete with 37-40 scales (37-38*, mean = 37.0, n = 125). Scale rows between dorsal fin origin and lateral line 6-8 (6*, mean = 6.8, n = 136); 4-6 scale rows between lateral line and pelvic fin origin (5*, mean = 5.2, n = 137). Predorsal scales 9-14 (11-12*, mean = 11.0, n = 117) arranged in regular series. Scale rows around caudal peduncle 14-18 (14-16*, mean = 16.8, n = 121). Axillary scale on pelvic fin origin extends posteriorly covering 2-3 scales. Scale sheath along anal fin base 6-14 scales, in single series, covering base of anteriormost rays. Precaudal vertebrae 17-18; caudal vertebrae 17-19; total vertebrae 35-37 (n = 15). Supraneurals 5-7 (n = 15). Gill-rakers upper branch 6-10 (mean = 8.2, n = 135), lower branch 11-16 (mean = 13.2, n = 135). Color in alcohol. Dorsal and dorsolateral portions of head and body dark brown. Dark chromatophores scattered on lateral portion of head, more densely concentrated on snout and anterior border of eye. Dorsal portion of body densely pigmented in larger specimens. Scales midlateral and below the lateral line bordered with dark brown chromatophores forming reticulate pattern. Body with black, midlateral stripe extending from the humeral spot to caudal fin base; faint dark pigmentation present on middle caudal-fin rays. Midlateral body stripe expanded dorsally and ventrally to caudal fin base, forming small caudal spot. Humeral spot, conspicuous, horizontally elongate located over 3 to 5 vertical series of scales and extending over 2 horizontal series of scales above of the lateral line; with a narrow anteroventral downward extension past lateral line and extending over one, rarely two, vertical series of scales ( Figs. 4b and 7 ). Humeral spot can vary in shape with upper portion almost rounded or slightly wider than lower portion in small specimens around 40.0 mm SL (MCP 40807, and MUCP 940) and occasionally in large specimens ( 53.1 mm SL, MUCP 3250, and 66.8 mm SL, MCP 34533). Fins with dispersed dark chromatophores. Specimens a few days fixed in formalin (MCP 33312), all fins red-orange pigmented. Fig. 6.

Astyanax laticeps , MCP 35425, 61.2 mm SL, tributary of rio Ivaí, rio Jacuí drainage, Júlio de Castilhos, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Sexual dimorphism. Males with thick, well-developed retrorse bony hooks on pelvic-fin and anal-fin rays. One paired bony hook per lepidotrichia in the last unbranched anal-fin ray and first to eighth anal-fin branched rays on middle and distal portions of rays. One paired bony hook per lepidotrichia on entire first to sixth pelvic-fin branched rays. Anal fin profile slightly concave to straight in males, concave in females. In males up to 60 mm SL, tip of pelvic fin reaches or slightly passes the anal fin origin, and tip of pectoral fin extends beyond the pelvic fin origin. In females, both fins do not reach the anal and pelvic fin origins, respectively. Gill glands ( Burns & Weitzman, 1996 ) were not found macroscopically on first gill arch in either males or females. Distribution. Astyanax laticeps is known from the coastal drainages of Uruguay (arroyo Don Carlos) and Brazil to south of the Paraná State (rio Cubatão draining to baía de Guaratuba), and rio Uruguay drainage ( Fig. 5 ). This finding substantially extends the distribution of the species reported by Azpelicueta & Loureiro (2009) . Geographic variation. All meristic characters analyzed among A . laticeps populations showed wide overlap, except for three counts (lateral line and caudal peduncle scales, and branched anal-fin rays). Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric multiple comparisons indicate significant differences between population samples. Dunn’s method shows differences in the number of lateral line scales between the rio Cubatão Norte and rio Itapocu populations and other populations, except that from the rio Tramandaí drainage ( Fig. 9 ). The same count was not significantly different between the rio Cubatão and rio Itapocu populations. In the counts of scales around the caudal peduncle, the rio Cubatão Norte population was significantly different from all other populations, except the rio Itapocu ( Fig. 10 ). The same pattern occurred in the number of branched anal-fin rays between the rio Cubatão Norte and other populations, except the rio Itapocu. This count was significantly different between the rio Itapocu and other populations, except the rio Mampituba ( Fig. 11 ). Significant differences were found in the number of lateral line scales between the rio Mampituba and rio Tubarão populations and the others, except the rio Itajaí and laguna dos Patos system. The morphometric data analyzed by percentages and PCA did not reveal at all the discriminate populations ( Figs. 12-14 , Table 3 ). The Mampituba population can be partially discriminated from those of the laguna dos Patos, Tramandaí, and Itapocu drainages. The variables that most influenced the discrimination on the third axis (explaining 0.89511% of the variance) were interorbital width and caudal peduncle length on the positive side and anal fin base length and snout length on the negative side ( Fig. 12 ). When only females were analyzed, the populations of the Tramandaí and Mampituba drainages can be partially discriminated from each other. The most influenced measurement was the caudal peduncle length and interorbital width on the negative side on the second axis (explaining 0.7729% of the variance) and the anal fin base length and snout length on the positive side ( Fig. 13 ). The PCA for males showed that the populations Tramandaí and Mampituba, and Itajaí and Cubatão Norte drainages are discriminated from each other on the second axis (explaining 2.4185% of the variance) ( Fig. 14 ). Pectoral and pelvic fin lengths were the variables that were influenced most on the negative side, and snout length and body depth on the positive side. Fig. 8.

Despite the above-mentioned differences, there is overlapping of ranges of meristic and percentage data. In the meristic data analyzed, the Itapocu and Cubatão Norte populations showed higher median values compared to the other populations, suggesting that these populations may be distinct. However, there is overlapping of the extreme values of these characters when compared with southern populations. Besides, no diagnostic characters were found to discriminate the Itapocu and Cubatão Norte populations from the others. The few differences in PCA did not show any rational geographic pattern in the entire distribution area of the species. Therefore, we considered all populations analyzed as Astyanax laticeps . Fig. 11. Tukey box plots of number of branched anal-fin rays in Astyanax laticeps populations by river drainages from south to north. Mean represented by thick vertical bar, and 25 th and 75 th percetiles as lateral borders of box plots. Among the discerning taxonomic studies, including species widely distributed in the coastal rivers of south and southeast Brazil , only Mimagoniates microlepis (Steindachner) showed a distribution similar to that of A . laticeps ( Weitzman et al ., 1988 ; Menezes & Weitzman, 1990 , 2009 ). Weitzman et al . (1988) found divergent live color patterns between some isolated populations of M . microlepis , and related this divergence to the possible initial process of speciation. In the present study, the tendency toward higher median values for the populations from Itapocu and Cubatão drainages could be indicative of the same early process. Material examined. Holotype .
