There is extensive research of the Ephemeroptera communities taxonomy and ecology in the Andean region of Colombia. However, other regions such as the Orinoquia have been insufficiently studied. From this region, in the Meta department, four species have been registered: Varipes lasiobrachius Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, Coryphorus aquilus Peters, Miroculis (Atroari) colombiensis Savage & Peters and Tricorythopsis rondoniensis (Dias, Cruz & Ferreira). The main objective of this study is to report for the first time for this region the species: Mayobaetis ellenae (Mayo), Hydrosmylodon primanus (Eaton), Haplohyphes baritu Domínguez, Camelobaetidus edmundsi Dominique, Mathuriau & Thomas and Nanomis galera Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty.

The Tomo River runs west to east through the high savannah, known as the 'Altillanura' in eastern Colombia, to flow directly into the Orinoco River. This updated ichthyological checklist was developed by revising and deleting five bibliographic references in combination with the results of an expedition carried out in April 2017 in the lower part of the sub–basin. Here we report 305 species of fish belonging to 183 genera, 45 families and 14 orders. The consolidated checklist includes 69 additional species for Tomo River, of which three species are new records for the Orinoco River basin and eight are new species for Colombia. In addition, we add 578 catalog numbers (10,423 specimens) to the fish collection of the Humboldt Institute (IAvH–P)

The first report of Sartor (Anostomidae) and Tatia intermedia (Auchenipteridae) for the Upper Tapajós River Basin are presented here. Sartor is very rare on collections, and is reported only from the Trombetas, Tocantins and Upper Xingu river basins. Tatia intermedia is registered in the upper reaches of the Araguaia, Tocantins, Xingu, and Capim rivers, tributaries of the lower Amazon River in Brazil, northwards to the Suriname coastal rivers and the Essequibo River in Guyana.

The Lacantun Catfish, Lacantunia enigmatica, is reported for the first time in the Usumacinta river basin in Guatemala. Two specimens were collected in the Usumacinta tributaries Río La Pasión and Río Negro, which are characterized by seasonally fast-flowing deep channels and high fluctuations in water-level. We present a map with new records, and a brief description, and images of the specimens collected.

Abstract: This study focus on an inventory of the ichthyofauna of the Una river, a tributary of the Paraíba do Sul river, located in the region of Paraíba do Sul River Valley, in the State of São Paulo. Sampling was carried out in three sampling areas along the channel of the Una river between April 2016 and March 2017. For the collection of fish specimens, was used angling, fyke nets, cast nets, dragnets and hand nets. A total of 1.534 specimens were collected, which corresponds to five different orders, 14 families, 26 genera and thirty species. The study revealed that the most significant number of reported species are from the orders Siluriformes and Characiformes. The Characidae family was the most representative concerning the wealth of species and Astyanax aff. bimaculatus (two spot Astyanax | lambari-do-rabo-amarelo) was the species with the highest number of individuals captured. The freshwater ichthyofauna of the Una river is composed of eight species considered allochthonous and one exotic. Of the thirty species listed in this study, five are new records for the Paraíba do Sul river basin.

Chasmogenus cajuina sp. nov., a new species of the water scavenger beetle (Hydrophilidae: Acidocerinae) is described and illustrated, based on adult males, collected in the Lower Parnaíba River Basin, north of Piauí, Northeast Region of Brazil. In addition, Helochares (Sindolus) femoratus (Brullé, 1841) and Hydrobiomorpha spatula Bachmann, 1988 are recorded from Piauí State for the first time.

Here we describe two new species from southeastern Oregon based on morphologic and molecular (mtCOI) evidence. Pyrgulopsis fresti n. sp., commonly known as the “Owyhee hot springsnail” and long considered to be distinct and critically imperiled, lives in thermal springs along a short reach of the Owyhee River above Three Forks. This snail differs from other regional species in its squat shell; penial ornament consisting of a large, disc-shaped ventral gland; absence of a seminal receptacle; and mtCOI sequences. Pyrgulopsis owyheensis n. sp. ranges among five disjunct groups of springs in the Owyhee and Malheur river drainages and is occasionally sympatric with P. fresti. This snail is closely similar to another regional congener, P. intermedia (Tryon, 1865), but is smaller and further differentiated by its typically disjunct inner shell lip, longer and narrower penial filament, more distally positioned ventral gland of penis, and mtCOI sequences. The type locality (Owyhee Spring) population of P. owyheensis is genetically differentiated from the other geographical subunits of this species (1.5–1.8% sequence divergence) and should perhaps be managed as a separate conservation unit. New records are provided for P. intermedia which extends the range of this conservation priority species into the lower Owyhee River basin. We also show that the “Malheur springsnail,” which has been listed in various conservation-related publications and documents, is the same as P. intermedia. This study provides critical information for the conservation of springsnails in southeastern Oregon and underscores the need for additional field surveys in the region.

Vertigo moulinsiana (Dupuy, 1849) was found in 2003–2005 in Northern Bohemia (Czech Republic) at 11 sites. All these sites are situated on floodplains of smaller streams in a sandstone area. The known occurrence of this endangered relict in the Czech Republic is concentrated in three areas – a large area of Bohemian Cretaceous Basin, a floodplain near villages Břežany and Božice (Dyje River Basin) in Southern Moravia and small, isolated, treeless fens in the White Carpathians (Bílé Karpaty Mts.). The principal habitats where V. moulinsiana lives in the Czech Republic are sedge marshes, Typha swamps, reed swamps (with Carex spp.), alder carrs (also with Carex spp.) and tufa-forming spring fens.

We present the amended description of the species Acmanthera minima and A. parviflora based on specimens collected in the Lower Negro River basin and the Serra do Aracá National Park, respectively, in the Amazonas State, Brazil. We also provide photographs, a distribution map, notes on conservation status and a key to all species of the genus Acmanthera. We report new records and range extension for Acmanthera latifolia and A. minima, previously known only for the Negro and Madeira River basins, respectively.
