Taxonomic status of the South American characid fish Creatochanes melanurus transitorius Steindachner, 1915
(Teleostei: Characidae)
Paulo H. F. Lucinda* and Tharles L. O. Guedes**
The name Creatochanes melanurus transitorius has been used for a species of Bryconops in the Rio Tapajós drainage, Amazon basin. Revision of the syntype series showed it to be composed of two species of Bryconops, and one species of Iguanodectes. The type locality is Rio Branco at Boa Vista, Brazil and the Rupununi River at Melville, Guyana.
The South American characid Creatochanes melanurus transitorius Steindachner, 1915, is a little-known taxon that was rarely cited after its original description (Steindachner, 1915, 1917), and there are no recent collecting records. Creatochanes Günther was synonymized under Bryconops Kner, but remaining valid as a subgenus (Chernoff & Machado-Alisson, 1999, 2005). Buckup (2003), Lima et al. (2007), Silva-Oliveira et al. (2015), and Eschmeyer et al. (2017) considered C. m. transitorius as a valid species, Bryconops transitoria [sic], and stated the locality to be Rio Tapajós, a tributary of the Amazon River in northern Brazil. Creatochanes m. transitorius was described first by Steindachner (1915), in a separate article print, and again, in Steindachner (1917), in the final volume. The description was based on specimens collected by John D. Haseman in October 1913, during an expedition to the upper Rupununi and Branco Rivers in Guyana and Brazil. Haseman’s speci-
mens were deposited in the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (NMW), and catalogued as three objects with numbers NMW 68939, 69213, and 68532. Our examination of the syntype series showed that it is composed of specimens of three distinct species, one species of Bryconops (Creatochanes), (NMW 69213, five of six specimens, and NMW 68532, four specimens); one species of Bryconops (Bryconops), (NMW 68939, three specimens); and Iguanodectes purusii (NMW 69213, one of six speci-mens).

Steindachner (1915) proposed the name transitorius as a variety of Creatochanes melanurus.
