This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Akama, Alberto, Carl J. Ferraris, Jr. (2003): Entomocorus melaphareus, a new species of auchenipterid catfish (Osteichthyes: Siluriformes) from the lower and middle reaches of the rio Amazonas. Neotropical Ichthyology 1 (2): 77-82, DOI: 10.1590/S1679-62252003000200001, URL: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1679-62252003000200001&lng=en&tlng=en
A new species of auchenipterid catfish, Entomocorus melaphareus, is described. The new species is readily distinguished from its two congeners, Entomocorus benjamini Eigenmann, 1917, and E. gameroi Mago Leccia, 1983, by having darkly pigmented, rather than hyaline, pectoral and pelvic fins. Entomocorus melaphareus is known from the margins of the lower and middle rio Amazonas, and is the only species of the genus known from the main channel of that river.
Uma nova espécie de bagre da família Auchenipteridae é aqui descrita com base em dois exemplares coletados recentemente no baixo e médio rio Amazonas. Entomocorus melaphareus se distingue das demais espécies do gênero pelo colorido escuro de suas nadadeiras peitoral e pélvica, contrastando com as nadadeiras hialinas de Entomocorus benjamini Eigenmann, 1917 e E. gameroi Mago Leccia, 1983. Esta é a única espécie do gênero Entomocorus conhecida na calha do rio Amazonas.
