Hypostomus punctatus Valenciennes, 1840 View in CoL
type localities: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro first record: Berg (1895) sub Plecostomus commersonii affinis [fide López et al., 2003]
other records: Roa & Permingeat (1999) remarks: Berg (1895) considered Perugia’s Plecostomus punctatus partially as a synonym of both, P. commersonii and of P. commersonii affinis . He also put Plecostomus cordovae Günther and P. paranensis Weyenbergh in the synonymy of P. commersonii affinis . López (1992) treated Berg’s P. commersonii affinis as a synonym of H. cordovae . Therefor it could be assumed that the alleged first record for H. punctatus sub P. commersonii affinis , as listed by López et al. (2003), might have referred to H. paranensis . From the 11 species of Hypostomus treated by López & Miquelarena (1991) and López (1992), Hypostomus punctatus is the only one without reference to examined material, thus indicating a doubtful situation regarding a distribution in Argentina. Weber (2003) limited the distribution of H. punctatus to the Southeastern Brazilian coastal drainages.
