Hypostomus paulinus (Ihering, 1905) View in CoL
original: Plecostomus paulinus type localities: Brazil, Sao Paulo , Rio Piracicaba first record: COMIP (1987) from Misiones, Río Paraná between Candelaria and Puerto Iguazú
[fide López et al., 2003]
other records: Garcia (1992) from Río Paraná, Misiones [fide Liotta, 2006].
remarks: In addition to the records of the COMIP (1987) and Garcia (1992), both mere faunal lists, there seem to exist no further records from Argentina ( Liotta, 2006). Weber (2003) restricted the distribution of H. paulinus to the Tietê river basin in Brazil and findings in Paraguay. Weber (1986, unpublished degree thesis) listed one lot (MHNG 2198.44-45) from the río Tembey in Southeast Paraguay, only few km from the Argentinean coast of the río Paraná. Although possibly still doubtful, we currently consider this species to exist in Argentina and future records may confirm this Southern distribution.
