Abstract (en):
In order to establish the group diversity and to clarify the status of some species, a taxonomic review of the teleostean fishes included in the order Batrachoidiformes (toadfishes) from Colombian waters was made, based on available samples in the main fish collections of the country. The Batrachoidiformes include a single family, Batrachoididae, with three subfamilies (Porichthyinae, Batrachoidinae y Thalassophryninae) in the New World. In Colombia there are five genera deposited in the Colombian Marine Natural History Museum - MHNMC and the referenced collections: Porichthys, Batrachoides, Sanopus, Daector, and Thalassophryne. Those genera include 15 species: P. margaritatus, P. oculellus, P. pauciradiatus, P. plectrodon, B. boulengeri, B. manglae, B. pacifici, B. surinamensis, Sanopus sp., D. dowi, D. gerringi, D. quadrizonatus, T. amazonica, T. maculosa, and T. nattereri. The most representative species of referenced collections because of the number of samples and wide distribution in Colombian water are D. dowi, P. plectrodon, P. margaritatus, and T. maculosa. An identification key for Colombian species of Batrachoidiformes is included.
Abstract (es):
Se realizó una revisión taxonómica de los peces óseos pertenecientes al orden Batrachoidiformes (peces sapo) de aguas colombianas que se encuentran disponibles en las principales colecciones ictiológicas del país, con el fin de determinar la diversidad del grupo y aclarar la presencia de algunas especies en el territorio nacional. El orden Batrachoidiformes tiene una sola familia, Batrachoididae y tres subfamilias (Porichthyinae, Batrachoidinae y Thalassophryninae) en el Nuevo Mundo. En Colombia existen hasta el momento cinco géneros depositados en el Museo de Historia Natural Marina de Colombia - MHNMC y las colecciones de referencia: Porichthys, Batrachoides, Sanopus, Daector y Thalassophryne. Estos géneros comprenden 15 especies: P. margaritatus, P. oculellus, P. pauciradiatus, P. plectrodon, B. boulengeri, B. manglae, B. pacifici, B. surinamensis, Sanopus sp., D. dowi, D. gerringi, D. quadrizonatus, T. amazonica, T. maculosa y T. nattereri. Las especies más representativas debido al número de ejemplares presentes en las colecciones de referencia y amplia distribución en aguas colombianas son D. dowi, P. plectrodon, P. margaritatus y T. maculosa. En este trabajo se presenta una clave de identificación de las especies colombianas de Batrachoidiformes.
