497DDA6BFF95F11043ABB7DC494DC6E9.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Martin (1972) listed C. leucas in Honduras based on a photograph taken by Strong (1934) in the Patuca River. This is the only documented report of C. leucas in Honduran freshwaters.

497DDA6BFF9BF11E43ABB7AB4F4FC0EC.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Bussing (2002) describes the distributional range for R. bouchellei as across the Atlantic slope of Central America from the Patuca River in Honduras to the Matina River in Costa Rica. Martin (1972) reported R. bouchellei (field numbers MMH 1969 - 14, MMH 1969 - 19, material deposited at LACM) in the Sico-Tinto o Negro River, which is located west of the Patuca River. We consider the distributional range of R. bouchellei to extend from the Sico-Tinto o Negro River in Honduras to the Matina River in Costa Rica, in the Atlantic slope of Central America.	en	Matamoros, Wilfredo A., Schaefer, Jacob F., Kreiser, Brian R.

497DDA6BFF9BF11C43ABB22749BAC508.taxon	discussion	Remarks: C. melanopus was thought to be endemic to the Motagua river basin in Guatemala and possibly occurring in Honduras (Marceniuk & Betancur-R., 2008). Vouchers LACM 32355 - 1 collected in the Río Ulúa in the department of Santa Bárbara, and LACM 32405 - 1 collected in the Río Blanco (tributary of the Ulúa River) represent the first records of C. melanopus in Honduras as well as a significant range extension. Furthermore, Vaux (1985) collected C. melanopus at the Yure River (at the confluence with the Quebrada de Chamo), which is a tributary of the Humuya River, Río Ulúa system. Cathorops sp. Raredon’s sea catfish, bagre de Raredon. Native. Remarks: The distributional range of the Raredon’s sea catfish as reported by Marceniuk et al. (in press), extends from Sinaloa México to the department of La Libertad to La Unión in El Salvador. In the description of the species, Marceniuk et al. (in press) included material collected in La Unión Bay. La Unión Bay is a small body of water located in the Gulf of Fonseca bordering Honduras and El Salvador. Based on the geographical location of the La Unión Bay, it is most likely that the Raredon’s sea catfish also occurs in Honduras (R. Betancur-R., pers. comm.). Cathorops steindachneri (Gilbert & Starks, 1904). Steindachner’s sea catfish, bagre de Steindachner. Native. Remarks: The distributional range of C. steindachneri extends from El Salvador to Panama (Marceniuk et al., in press). This species has been reported from the Gulf of Fonseca in El Salvador, but is also potentially present on the Honduran side of the Gulf of Fonseca (R. Betancur-R., pers. comm.; Marceniuk et al., in press), since the Gulf of Fonseca is a shared body of water between these two countries.	en	Matamoros, Wilfredo A., Schaefer, Jacob F., Kreiser, Brian R.

497DDA6BFF9BF11C43ABB22749BAC508.taxon	discussion	Remarks: While no specimens of this species have been collected in Honduras, its occurrence in the country is very likely (R. Betancur-R., pers. comm.). Marceniuk et al. (in press) listed specimens collected in La Unión Bay, which is a small shared body of water at the Honduras – El Salvador border. Sciades assimilis (Günther, 1864). Maya sea catfish, bagre maya. Native. Department: Cortés. Drainage: Atlantic slope: Chamelecón.	en	Matamoros, Wilfredo A., Schaefer, Jacob F., Kreiser, Brian R.

Drainages: Pacific slope: Nacaome and Choluteca. Sciades seemanni (Günther, 1864). Tete sea catfish, bagre tete. Native. Departments: Choluteca and Valle. Drainages: Pacific slope: Lempa, Goascorán, Nacaome and Negro. Ictaluridae. Primary. Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque, 1818). Channel catfish, bagre de canal. Exotic. Departments: Comayagua, Cortés and Santa Bárbara. Drainages: Atlantic slope: Chamelecón and Ulúa. Remarks: I. punctatus was introduced in Honduras in the early 1960 s for aquaculture purposes by technicians of the United Fruit Company. During Hurricane Fifi in 1975, many fish escaped into the Ulúa and Chamelecón Rivers. In the environmental impact study prior to building the El Cajón reservoir, Vaux (1985) reported I. punctatus. There is also evidence of at least one fish farmer in Comayagua that has been capable of reproducing catfish locally (D. Meyer, pers. comm.). Heptapteridae. Primary.

497DDA6BFF9BF11C43ABB22749BAC508.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Silfvergrip’s (1996) revision of the genus Rhamdia synonymized R. guatemalensis with R. quelen. Perdices et al. (2002) analyzed the evolutionary history of the genus in Central America and concluded that South American R. quelen are evolutionarily distinct from R. guatemalensis from Central America. Here we treat R. guatemalensis as a distinct species. Rhamdia laticauda (Kner, 1858). Filespine Chulin, chulín. Native.	en	Matamoros, Wilfredo A., Schaefer, Jacob F., Kreiser, Brian R.

497DDA6BFF99F11C43ABB6434EAFC0B5.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Albert & Miller et al. (1995) stated that G. cylindricus occurs only in drainages on the Atlantic slope of Central America. However, some of the material they examined in their paper came from localities in the Honduran Pacific slope, wrongly identified as Atlantic slope localities. This material includes: UMMZ 155831, UMMZ 188296, UMMZ 188297 (see Albert & Miller, 1995; Albert et al., 1999; Albert, 2001). Further, Bussing (2002) reported G. cylindricus from the Yeguare River, a tributary of the Choluteca River, which drains to the Gulf of Fonseca on the Honduran Pacific slope.	en	Matamoros, Wilfredo A., Schaefer, Jacob F., Kreiser, Brian R.

497DDA6BFF98F11843ABB2E14CFBC005.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Miller (1907) found P. marcellinoi in the Motagua River basin. In redescribing the species, Poeser (1995) listed a number of localities from the Lempa River in El Salvador. Because Salvadorian drainages all have headwaters in Honduras, it would not be surprising to find this species on the Honduran side of the Lempa River. Furthermore, Villa (1982) listed a Poecilia sp. from the Ulúa River in Honduras. This species is considered by Poeser (unpubl. data) to be P. m a rc e l l i n o i. Finally, we collected P. marcellinoi in the Choluteca River drainage, meaning the Honduran distribution of P. marcellinoi may be broader than presented here. Poecilia sp. 1.
