Chalceus Macrolepidotus
The pinktail chalceus (''Chalceus macrolepidotus''),U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Pinktail Chalceus (Chalceus macrolepidotus) Ecological Risk Screening Summary'. 2018. also called the pinktail characin, is a species of freshwater fish of the family Chalceidae found in South America. It is one of five fish in the genus ''Chalceus'', and is the type species of the genus. Description The pinktail chalceus is a small, light-colored freshwater fish with a tail that is usually dark red to pink and is much more intensely colored than the rest of the animal. It has large, noticeable scales and reaches 24.5 cm SL, making it the largest known member of ''Chalceus''. The smallest is ''Chalceus epakros''. ''Chalceus epakros'', before being classified, was regularly misidentified as either the pinktail chalceus or the Tucan fish, yellowfin chalceus (''Chalceus erythrurus'').

Chalceus Epakros
''Chalceus epakros'' is a species of freshwater fish in the family Chalceidae, found in northern South America. It is a fairly recent addition to its genus, alongside the species '' C. guaporensis'' and '' C. spilogyros''. Description ''Chalceus epakros'' bears visual similarities to other members of the genus ''Chalceus'', like metallic scales and a vivid red or pink caudal fin, though several differences help separate it from its congeners. It has a thin stripe laterally that reaches the caudal peduncle, as well as a longer and more pointed snout. It may occasionally bear humeral spots (a spot above each pectoral fin), but they are rather indistinct, especially compared to the humeral spots of '' C. spilogyros''. Its fins are a mixture of hyaline and reddish-pink, as opposed to the bright-yellow pelvic fins of '' C. erythrurus''. ''Chalceus erythrurus'' and ''C. macrolepidotus'' may occasionally bear a similar lateral stripe to ''C. epakros'', but theirs are broader and more ...

Fish Of South America
A fish (: fish or fishes) is an aquatic animal, aquatic, Anamniotes, anamniotic, gill-bearing vertebrate animal with swimming fish fin, fins and craniate, a hard skull, but lacking limb (anatomy), limbs with digit (anatomy), digits. Fish can be grouped into the more basal (phylogenetics), basal jawless fish and the more common jawed fish, the latter including all extant taxon, living cartilaginous fish, cartilaginous and bony fish, as well as the extinct placoderms and acanthodians. In a break to the long tradition of grouping all fish into a single Class (biology), class (Pisces), modern phylogenetics views fish as a paraphyletic group. Most fish are ectotherm, cold-blooded, their body temperature varying with the surrounding water, though some large nekton, active swimmers like white shark and tuna can hold a higher core temperature. Many fish can communication in aquatic animals#Acoustic, communicate acoustically with each other, such as during courtship displays. The stud ...

Species Inquirenda
In biological classification, a ''species inquirenda'' is a species of doubtful identity requiring further investigation. The use of the term in English-language biological literature dates back to at least the early nineteenth century. The term ''taxon inquirendum'' is broader in meaning and refers to an incompletely defined taxon of which the taxonomic validity is uncertain or disputed by different experts or is impossible to identify the taxon. Further characterization is required. Certain species names may be designated unplaced names, which ''Plants of the World Online'' defines as "names that cannot be accepted, nor can they be put into synonymy". Unplaced names may be names which were not validly published, later homonyms which are therefore illegitimate, or species which cannot be accepted because the genus name is not accepted. Species names may remain unplaced if there is no accepted species in a genus in which it can be placed, or if the type material for the species ...

Chalceus Spilogyros
''Chalceus spilogyros'', sometimes misspelled as ''Chalceus spilogyrus'', is a species of freshwater fish in the family Chalceidae that inhabits northern South America. It is a relatively new member of the genus ''Chalceus'', along with ''Chalceus epakros, C. epakros'' and ''Chalceus guaporensis, C. guaporensis''. Description ''Chalceus spilogyros'' bears many visual similarities to other ''Chalceus'' species, including metallic scales and a vividly-colored caudal fin (usually red or pink); the rest of its fins are hyaline. Its scales also bear a reticulate (net-like) pattern, which is often uniform across the whole body. It has a comparatively rounded snout, and lacks the thin lateral stripe of ''C. guaporensis'' and ''C. epakros'', but it bears a small-yet-distinct humeral patch (a patch above each of the pectoral fins) to differentiate it from ''C. macrolepidotus'' and ''C. erythrurus''. Its hyaline fins further separate it from ''C. erythrurus'', whose pelvic fins are bright ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chalceus Guaporensis
''Chalceus guaporensis'' is a species of freshwater fish in the family Chalceidae that inhabits northern South America. Alongside '' C. epakros'' and '' C. spilogyros'', it was added to the genus ''Chalceus'' in the year 2004. Description Visually, ''C. guaporensis'' is similar to other ''Chalceus'' species, with metallic scales and a vivid caudal fin (often reddish or pinkish). It is also within the average size range of the genus, reaching 17.4 cm SL. It has a darker stripe down each side that reaches the caudal peduncle; ''C. guaporensis'' and ''C. epakros'' are the only two members of the genus ''Chalceus'' to sport this lateral stripe, differentiating them from the other three. ''C. guaporensis'' also usually has humeral spots (a dark spot above each pectoral fin), but they are not as well-defined as those in ''C. spilogyros'' or ''C. epakros.'' ''C. guaporensis'' and ''C. epakros'' share a more elongated and pointed snout than other ''Chalceus'' species, but it is more p ...

Edward Drinker Cope
Edward Drinker Cope (July 28, 1840 – April 12, 1897) was an American zoologist, paleontology, paleontologist, comparative anatomy, comparative anatomist, herpetology, herpetologist, and ichthyology, ichthyologist. Born to a wealthy Quaker family, he distinguished himself as a child prodigy interested in science, publishing his first scientific paper at the age of 19. Though his father tried to raise Cope as a gentleman farmer, he eventually acquiesced to his son's scientific aspirations. Cope had little formal scientific training, and he eschewed a teaching position for field work. He made regular trips to the Western United States, American West, prospecting in the 1870s and 1880s, often as a member of United States Geological Survey, U.S. Geological Survey teams. A personal feud between Cope and paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh led to a period of intense fossil-finding competition now known as the Bone Wars.

Chalceus Erythrurus
The tucan fish (''Chalceus erythrurus''), also called the yellowfin chalceus, is a species of freshwater fish in the family Chalceidae. It is one of five species in the genus ''Chalceus'', and was the second species to be described therein. Description The tucan fish has a pale-silver body, with bright-yellow ventral fins (hence its other common name); the rest of its fins are some mixture of yellow and red, usually with a reddish tail fin. In terms of size, it reaches 21.4 cm SL. This makes it one of the larger members of the genus ''Chalceus'', outsized only by the pinktail chalceus. Etymology The name "tucan fish" directly translates to "toucan fish", as "tucán" means toucan in Spanish. All members of the family Chalceidae are sometimes referred to as tucanfishes, but ''C. erythrurus'' is the species to which it is most often applied.
