Steindachneridion
''Steindachneridion'' is a genus of South American pimelodid catfish (order Siluriformes). Taxonomy The first species of the genus, ''S. parahybae'', was described in 1877 by Franz Steindachner under the name ''Platystoma parahybae''. Later, Carl H. Eigenmann and Rosa Smith Eigenmann described ''Steindachneridia'', named for Steindachner, for this species and for ''S. amblyurum'' (designated as the type species) in 1888. The next year, Eigenmann and Eigenmann described ''S. doceanum''. In 1918, Miranda Ribeiro described ''S. scriptum'' and ''S. scriptum punctatum''; later, ''S. punctatum'' was studied and considered to be a species of its own. However, because ''Steindachneria'' was already being used, these fish were transferred to ''Steindachneridion'' in 1919. The most recent species, ''S. melanodermatum'', was described by Garavello in 2005. This genus currently includes six extant species. Two fossil species of ''Steindachneridion'' have been found. The first to be de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pimelodidae
The Pimelodidae, commonly known as the long-whiskered catfishes, are a family of catfishes (order Siluriformes). Taxonomy The family Pimelodidae has undergone much revision. Currently, it contains about 30 genera and about 90 recognized and known but unnamed species. Wikipedia lists 109 species in this family. The low-eye catfish (previously family Hypophthalmidae), and thus the genus ''Hypophthalmus'', which contains four species, was reclassified with the pimelodids. This family previously included fish that are now classified under Pseudopimelodidae (previously subfamily Pseudopimelodinae) and Heptapteridae (previously subfamily Rhamdiinae). This family also previously included ''Conorhynchos conirostris'', currently '' incertae sedis''. However, a molecular analysis has shown unequivocal support for monophyly of the individual families and the genus ''Conorhynchos'' into a clade called Pimelodoidea, including Pimelodidae + Pseudopimelodidae and Heptapteridae + ''Conorhynch ...

Franz Steindachner
Franz Steindachner (11 November 1834 in Vienna – 10 December 1919 in Vienna) was an Austrian zoologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist. He published over 200 papers on fishes and over 50 papers on reptiles and amphibians. Steindachner described hundreds of new species of fish and dozens of new amphibians and reptiles. At least seven species of reptile have been named after him. Work and career Being interested in natural history, Steindachner took up the study of fossil fishes on the recommendation of his friend Eduard Suess (1831–1914). In 1860 he was appointed to the position of director of the fish collection at the Naturhistorisches Museum, a position which had remained vacant since the death of Johann Jakob Heckel (1790–1857). (in German). Steindachner's reputation as an ichthyologist grew, and in 1868 he was invited by Louis Agassiz (1807–1873) to accept a position at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. Steindachner took part in the Has ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Oligocene
The Oligocene ( ) is a geologic epoch of the Paleogene Period and extends from about 33.9 million to 23 million years before the present ( to ). As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the epoch are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the epoch are slightly uncertain. The name Oligocene was coined in 1854 by the German paleontologist Heinrich Ernst Beyrich from his studies of marine beds in Belgium and Germany. The name comes from the Ancient Greek (''olígos'', "few") and (''kainós'', "new"), and refers to the sparsity of extant forms of molluscs. The Oligocene is preceded by the Eocene Epoch and is followed by the Miocene The Miocene ( ) is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma). The Miocene was named by Scottish geologist Charles Lyell; the name comes from the Greek words (', "less") and (', "new") and means "less recent" ... Epoch. The Oligocene is the third and final epoch of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
