Teleocichla Proselytus
''Teleocichla'' is a genus of fish in the family Cichlidae found in the Tapajós, Xingu, Tocantins and Jari River basins, which are part of the Amazon River Basin in Brazil. All species are rheophilic, and highly elongated in shape. They generally are smaller than in length, making them some of the smallest cichlids of the Americas. Only ''T. preta'' can grow larger, reaching about . Since restricted to areas with fast currents (such as cataracts and rapids), they are particularly vulnerable to the building of dams, and the Belo Monte Dam may cause the extinction of ''T. centisquama''. Other species recognized as threatened by Brazil's Ministry of the Environment are ''T. cinderella'', ''T. prionogenys'' and ''T. wajapi''. Species There are currently 9 recognized species in this genus, but several undescribed species are known. * '' Teleocichla centisquama'' Zuanon & I.

Hernán López-Fernández
Hernán is a Spanish masculine given name, originating from Germanic Hernan in the Visigoth culture in Spain. It is the Latinized version of the compound name ''Fard-nanth'', which seems to mean "gentle traveler" or "spiritual traveler". The House of Hernán gave its name to those with the surname Hernández, the -ez at the end denoting membership of that House. The surname, like many Spanish surnames, is of Teutonic-Gothic origin. It is not connected with " Herman" - also of Germanic origin, but a different one. Persons with the given name include: * Hernán Alvarado Solano (1946–2011), Colombian Roman Catholic Bishop * Hernán Andrade (born 1960), Mexican racewalker * Hernán Barcos (born 1984), Argentine football player * Hernán Barreneche (born 1939), retired long-distance runner * Hernán Behn (19th century), Puerto Rican businessperson * Hernán Bernardello (born 1986), Argentine football midfielder * Hernán Boyero (born 1979), Argentine football striker * Herná ...
