Open-access A new and threatened species of Listrura (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae), a rare catfish from an Atlantic Forest continental island

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    Abstract

    Listrura is a genus of small pencil catfishes of Trichomycteridae that currently comprises 12 valid species in coastal drainages of Southern and Southeastern Brazil, all with fossorial dwelling habitats and eel-like morphology. Here, we describe a new species of Listrura known from only two specimens collected in an interval of 24 years in order to make it taxonomically available for biodiversity inventories and conservation decisions. The new species is morphologically distinguished from its congeners by the combination of features, as pectoral-fin rays counts, number of free vertebrae, number caudal-fin procurrent rays, interopercular odontodes counts and the anterior-most position of dorsal and anal fin. Partial sequences of the mitochondrial gene cox1 were used to infer the phylogenetic relationships and biogeography of the new species and its congeners. The new species is the first freshwater fish endemic to a continental island in the Atlantic Forest Biome, and only the second trichomycterid endemic of an island.

    Resumo

    Listrura é um gênero de pequenos bagres da família Trichomycteridae, que compreende 12 espécies válidas ocorrendo em drenagens costeiras do Sul e Sudeste do Brasil, todas com hábitos fossoriais e morfologia anguiliforme. Aqui é descrita uma nova espécie de Listrura conhecida de apenas dois exemplares coletados em um intervalo de 24 anos, a fim de torná-la taxonomicamente disponível para inventários de biodiversidade e decisões de conservação. A nova espécie é morfologicamente distinguível de suas congêneres pela combinação do número de raios da nadadeira peitoral, número de vértebras livres, número de raios procorrentes caudais, número de odontódeos interoperculares e pela posição anterior das nadadeiras dorsal e anal. Sequências parciais do gene mitocondrial cox1 foram utilizadas para inferir as relações filogenéticas e a biogeografia da nova espécie e de suas congêneres. A nova espécie é o primeiro peixe de água doce endêmico de uma ilha continental do Bioma da Mata Atlântica, e o segundo tricomicterídeo endêmico de uma ilha.

    INTRODUCTION

    The Atlantic Forest (AF) is recognized as one of the five biodiversity hotspots in the world due to the outstanding number of species and elevated endemism, presently severely impacted by habitat loss and degradation (Myers et al., 2000; Brooks et al., 2002; Mittermeier et al., 2011). Current estimates indicate that about 70% of its original forests were lost (Rezende et al., 2018), the remaining fragments are small, isolated, and facing heavy environmental pressures (Brooks et al., 2002). The AF aquatic ecosystems are strongly affected by deforestation, mainly in the riparian zones, as well as by pollution and introduction of exotic species (Menezes et al., 2007; Castro, Polaz, 2020; Dala-Corte et al., 2020). The eastern coastal drainages of Brazil exhibit a remarkable diversity of small-sized fish species associated to AF aquatic habitats, such as small streams, ponds, and marshes, which are dependent on the riparian vegetation (Oyakawa et al., 2006; Menezes et al., 2007; Abilhoa et al., 2011; Albert et al., 2011; Castro, Polaz, 2020). At the same time, the AF also harbors the highest number of threatened freshwater fishes among the Brazilian biomes according to a recent assessment (ICMBio, 2023).

    Trichomycteridae encompasses nearly 400 species (Fricke et al., 2023), distributed in the Neotropics, from rivers at sea level to high altitudes in the Andes (de Pinna, 1998; Ochoa et al., 2020; Reis, de Pinna, 2022). Listrura de Pinna, 1988 currently includes 12 interstitials species (Fricke et al., 2023), most of them described in the last 20 years (Tab. 1). Species of these genus possess a restricted distribution, usually limited to one or a few localities in specific biotopes, such as shallow marginal water bodies with leaf litter and/or sandy substrate separated from main river (de Pinna, 1988; Nico, de Pinna, 1996; Villa-Verde et al., 2013; 2022). Most of these species are found in small and medium coastal river basins in the AF biome that drain from Serra do Mar and Serra Geral (large, partly adjacent, mountain ranges along in southeastern and southern Brazil), except L. depinnai Villa-Verde, Ferrer & Malabarba, 2014, which occurs in a transition zone between the AF and the Pampa biome (Villa-Verde et al., 2014).

    The genus Listrura was proposed to include two species, L. nematopteryx de Pinna, 1998 and L. camposae (Miranda-Ribeiro, 1957), the latter previously included in the genus Eremophilus Humboldt, 1805, and was initially assigned to the Glanapteryginae subfamily due to a set of morphological traits shared with these Amazonian trichomycterids (de Pinna, 1988). More recently, Costa et al. (2020), based on molecular phylogeny and a few morphological synapomorphies, transferred Listrura from Glanapteryginae and Microcambeva , Costa & Bockmann, 1994 from Sarcoglanidinae (see de Pinna, 1988; Costa, Bockmann, 1994) to the subfamily, Microcambevinae. Species of Listrura are easily distinguished by their singular morphology, presenting a minute and elongate body, absence of pelvic fins, and the caudal fin continuous dorsally and ventrally with a prominent membrane in the caudal peduncle supported by numerous procurrent rays (de Pinna, 1988; Villa-Verde et al., 2013, 2022). The presence of Listrura in Santa Catarina Island, in Southern Brazil has been reported for a long time, but their taxonomic status has been uncertain (Nico, de Pinna, 1996; Villa-Verde, 2008; Villa-Verde et al., 2013; Costa, Katz, 2021).

    Non-destructive three-dimensional imaging techniques have offered new perspectives to taxonomy by providing rapid and detailed access to the internal anatomy of museum specimens (Faulwetter et al., 2013). Micro-computed tomography or microtomography (microCT) has been widely applied to describe the osteology of several trichomycterid catfishes (e.g., Cleason et al., 2008; Schaefer, Fernández, 2009; Adriaens et al., 2010; de Pinna et al., 2018a,b, 2020; Reis et al., 2019; Medeiros et al., 2020; Henschel et al., 2020, 2022, 2022; de Pinna, Dagosta, 2022; Bockmann et al., 2023; Datovo et al., 2023). This technique is especially valuable for taxa with limited comparative material, which is the case of the Listrura from Santa Catarina Island. We analyzed two specimens using molecular and morphological analyses, including 3D skeleton reconstructions using microCT, and concluded that they represent a new species, as previously suggested by other authors (Villa-Verde, 2008; Villa-Verde et al., 2013; Costa, Katz, 2021), which is herein described. The new species is the first freshwater fish endemic of a continental island inserted in the AF biome, and the second trichomycterid restricted to an Island, along with Trichomycterus gorgona Fernández & Schaefer, 2005 from Gorgona island in the Pacific Ocean, in Colombia (Fernández, Schaefer, 2005).

    MATERIAL AND METHODS

    Morphological data. Counts and measurements follow de Pinna (1988). Measurements are presented as percentages of standard length (SL), except for subunits of the head, which are expressed as percentages of head length (HL). Measurements were taken with digital calipers, calibrated to the nearest tenth-millimeter under binocular stereomicroscope. Fin ray counts were obtained from the ethanol-preserved specimens using transmitted light under a binocular stereomicroscope. The counts include all rays, including small procurrent rays and principal rays, of dorsal and anal fins. Osteology was examined in 3D reconstructed models of two specimens scanned using a Phoenix v | tome | x M equipment (General Electric Company) Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, with following parameters: voxel size X= 0.2395892, number of images 4400, voltage 60kV, and current 220mA. The 3D visualization and analysis of the reconstructed osteology were performed using VGStudio MAX2.2.3 64-bit (Volume Graphics GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany). Counts of pre-caudal, caudal and total vertebrae, procurrent caudal-fin rays, branchiostegal rays, pleural ribs, opercular and interopercular odontodes, and jaw teeth were also taken from the images of X-rays and 3D-reconstructed models. Osteological nomenclature followed de Pinna (1989) and Adriaens et al. (2010), except the bones of the orbital region, named barbular and lacrimal-antorbital, following de Pinna et al. (2020). Terminology of the external anatomical structures of the opercular apparatus, followed de Pinna, Dagosta (2022). Vertebrae with complete hemal arch are referred to as caudal vertebrae, while those lacking a complete arch are termed as pre-caudal vertebrae. Morphological, meristic and osteological data of L. macaensis, L. macacuensis, L. gyrinura, and L. urussanga were obtained from their original descriptions (Costa, Katz; 2021; Costa et al., 2023). Institutional abbreviations follow Sabaj (2020).

    Molecular data and phylogenetic analysis. DNA extractions from ethanol-preserved tissues samples followed the protocol described in Bruford et al. (1992). Partial sequences of mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase sub-unit I (cox1) (Hebert et al., 2003) with 655 bp were amplified by PCR using the primers L5698-ASN (5’- AGG CCT CGA TCC TAC AAA GKT TTA GTT AAC -3’) (Inoue et al., 2001) and H7271-COI (5’- GTG GTG GGC TCA TAC AAT AAA -3’) (Villa-Verde et al., 2013). The amplicons were purified using 1µL of Exosap for every 10µL of PCR product. The PCR amplifications and sequencing of cox1 followed Villa-Verde et al. (2013). The purified PCR products were sequenced in both directions at Macrogen Inc (Seoul, South Korea). DNA sequences were aligned using the ClustalW algorithm (Chenna et al., 2003) in MEGA-X (Kumar et al., 2018). To estimate genetic distances between species, we used the Kimura 2-parameter model (Kimura, 1980) in MEGA X. Ingroup species included almost all Listrura species, except for L. gyrinura and L. urussanga. The outgroups were the glanapterygine Pygidianops amphioxus de Pinna & Kirovsky, 2011, and two Microcambeva species, M.barbata Costa & Bockmann, 1994 and M. jucuensis Costa, Katz, Mattos & Rangel-Pereira, 2019 (Tab. 2). Bayesian Inference (BI) analyses were performed using BEAST 2.5 (Bouckaert et al., 2019), and GTR+G+I as nucleotide substitution models under the Akaike criteria in jmodeltest 2 (Darriba et al., 2012). In BI we used a strict clock lognormal model a tree model set to yule model, and the remaining parameters were set as default. Length of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) was 10 million runs with sampling every 1,000 runs. ESS (> 200) values were checked using Tracer 1.7.2 (Rambaut et al., 2018). The first one million trees were discarded as burn-in periods (approximately 10%), and a final consensus tree and posterior probabilities were reconstructed using the software TreeAnnotator v. 1.10.4 and, edited using the software TreeViewer (Bianchi, Sánchez-Baracaldo, 2023).

    Diagnosis. The new species is distinguished from all congeners, except L. camposae, L. urussanga and L. gyrinura, by the number of pectoral-fin rays (three vs. one in L. nematopteryx, L. picinguabae, L. costai, L. macaensis, L. macacuensis and L. menezesi; two in L. boticario and L. depinnai; four in L. tetraradiata). Listrura bernunssa is further distinguished from all congeners with the both anal and dorsal fins, except L. costai and L. urussanga bythe position of the dorsal and anal fin relative to the vertebral column: the first pterygiophores of the dorsal and anal fin is located anterior to the neural spine of the 29th free vertebra (vs. first pterygiophore of the dorsal and anal fin is located anterior to the neural spine of the 30th free vertebra more). Listrura bernunssa is furtherdistinguished from L. camposae by the absence of a depression at the dorsal margin of the quadrate (vs. presence) and by the absence of a vestigial neural arch at the compound caudal centrum (vs. presence). Listrura bernunssa differs from L. gyrinura by having 47 free vertebrae (vs. 51–52) and six anal fin-rays (vs. eight). Listrura bernunssa differs from L. urussanga by having nine or 10 interopercular odontodes (vs. 6–8) and fewer dorsal (32–33) and ventral (30–31) procurrent caudal-fin rays (vs. 38–39 and 35–36, respectively).

    Geographical distribution.Listrura bernunssa is so far known only from two localities on the Santa Catarina Island, a continental island in Santa Catarina State, Southern Brazil (Fig. 9). The Córrego Grande stream originates in a dense and preserved fragment of Atlantic Forest adjacent to the city of Florianópolis. Soon after, the stream runs to the north along the urban area of Florianópolis up to its mouth in the Itacorubi mangrove, in the western coast of the Santa Catarina island. The second locality is a flooded area in the Ribeirão da Ilha district associated with a stream that drains from a southern mountain chain and runs to the west coast of the Santa Catarina Island.

    Ecological notes. Since the 16th century, the Santa Catarina Island has served as a refuge and point of supply of wood, water and food for expeditionary travelers in the region of the Prata River (Saint-Hilarie, 1978). Four centuries of disorderly occupation on the Santa Catarina Island led to drastic changes on its insular fragment of the AF, with approximately 75% of the original vegetation deforested, and the rest reduced to small fragments in montane areas (Caruso, 1990). Throughout the 20th century, all lowland areas of the island were occupied (Santiago et al., 2014; IBAM, 2015; Lopes et al., 2020). To mitigate the effects of human occupation, a mosaic of conservation units covering 42% of the island’s total territory were created, preserving small fragments of the AF (Reis, 2010). The freshwater ecosystems of the island of Santa Catarina comprise two lagoons and 15 small river basins (Lopes et al., 2020). The insular freshwater ichthyofauna of the island is composed of 17 species (Bertaco, 2009), including Listrura bernunssa.

    The holotype of Listrura bernunssa was collected in a small mountain stream in the “Maciço da Costeira Municipal Natural Park” conservation area, adjacent to the urban area of the city of Florianópolis. The stream has a substantial slope, rocky bottom, clear and swift running waters, and is surrounded by a dense fragment of AF. A single specimen was collected with a handle net in a small shallow pool among rocks by stirring the submerged roots of plants in the left margin. Rains in the region were intense on the collection day and entire preceding week, increasing the water volume in the stream. The following species were caught in the Córrego Grande stream along with L. bernunssa: Ancistrus multispinis (Regan, 1912) (Loricariidae), Cambeva barbosae Costa, Feltrin & Katz, 2021 (Trichomycteridae), Hollandichthysmultifasciatus (Eigenmann & Norris, 1900) (Characidae), Phallocerosmaldonadoi Souto-Santos, Lucinda & Buckup, 2023 (Poeciliidae), and Rhamdia sp. (Hepatpteridae). The paratype locality in Ribeirão da Ilha district was a shallow water pool (no more than 15 cm deep) covered with a dense layer of leaf litter continuous with a swift running rock mountain stream (Sachsse, pers. comm. apud Nico, de Pinna (1996)). On that occasion, the collectors (who are herpetologists) were searching for amphibians. Urban areas and the International Airport of Florianópolis currently circumscribe this locality, which is not protected by any conservation unit.

    Etymology. The species epithet bernunssa refers to ‘Bernunça’, a character from the traditional folk manifestation of the coastal region of Santa Catarina. Also known as ‘Boi de Mamão’, it is a legendary creature reminiscent of a dragon, crocodile, or bogeyman, reported for devouring disobedient children. Its origins in Santa Catarina folklore can be traced back to Iberian and Spanish traditions of the Galicia region. A noun in apposition.

    Conservation status.Listrura bernunssa is endemic to Brazil and has a restricted geographical distribution, known only from two localities in Florianópolis, with an area of occupation (AOO) of less than 100 km². The species is rare and not very abundant, typical of mountain streams with rocky bottoms and clear, fast-moving waters. The species probably occurred continuously along the island of Santa Catarina, and subpopulations may have been lost locally until the current distribution remained. This region is highly altered, mainly due to the rapid rural and urban expansion on the island of Santa Catarina, characterizing a decline in the quality of the remaining habitat. Due to the dynamics of anthropogenic occupation of the species’ natural environments, and its restriction to preserved environments, the severe fragmentation of the population can be inferred. Therefore, the new species was categorized as Endangered (EN) according to the B2ab(ii,iii) criterion (IUCN, 2022).

    Molecular analysis. The BI reconstruction (Fig. 10) indicates that the closest relative of the new species L. depinnai (PP = 0.99). Interspecific pairwise genetic distances in the cox1 gene are 2.9% with L. depinnai, 3.4% with L. boticario, 6.1% with L. camposae, 16% with L. costai, 17% with L. nematopteryx, L. macacuensis, L. macaensis, L. picinguabae and L. tetraradiata; and 18% with for L. menezesi (Tab. 4).

    DISCUSSION

    Correct taxonomic and geographic delimitation of species is fundamental to understanding biodiversity (Mace, 2004; Liu et al., 2022). Describing new species based on few specimens is less than ideal, because intraspecific and ontogenetic variation cannot be properly assessed (de Pinna et al., 2020; Medeiros et al., 2020). However, in certain cases it is necessary to name a species with limited material because there is simply no alternative. Having them reported and characterized helps expanding our knowledge on their systematics and taxonomy, ecology, biogeography, and conservation, particularly for those restricted-range species in highly impacted areas (de Pinna et al., 2020; Medeiros et al., 2020).

    Listrura bernunssa has the synapomorphies proposed by Costa et al. (2020) for Microcambevinae: (I) a lateral constriction in the antero-median portion of the vomer (Fig. 5), (II) a lateral process in the interopercle accommodating a broad ligament to the lower jaw and posteriorly supporting a ligament connected to the anteroventral process of the opercle (Fig. 6), and (III) a protuberance on the posteromedial region of the dorsal surface of the premaxilla (Fig. 3). It also shares the morphological characters diagnostic for traditional Glanapteryginae (Baskin, 1973; de Pinna, 1988, 1989) and discussion of this controversy is beyond the scope of the present contribution. Still, the new species is a member of the genus Listrura based on a combination of synapomorphies proposed by de Pinna (1988) and Costa, Katz (2021): (I) a bottle-shaped vomer (Fig. 5), (II) mesethmoid with lateral widening after anterior cornua (Fig. 3), (III) lacrimal-antorbital club shaped (Fig. 3), (IV) caudal fin with a continuous membrane (dorsal and ventral keels of some authors) (Figs. 2, 8) projected along the dorsal and ventral peduncle, supported by numerous procurrent rays (Figs. 2, 7), and (V) absence of pelvic fin (Figs. 1, 2, 8).

    Osteological data revealed some distinctive characters of the new species. An anteriorly oriented sub-cylindrical process is present on the anterolateral margin of the lateral ethmoid of L. bernunssa (Fig. 4). This is also found in the subgenus Listrura (Costa, Katz, 2021), even though, according to our molecular analysis (Fig. 10), L. bernunssa does not belong to that clade. Such sub-cylindrical process is absent in most other trichomycterid subfamilies. It is present, however, in the basal subfamilies Copionodontinae (where it is posteriorly oriented) and Trichogeninae (laterally oriented) (de Pinna, 1992; de Pinna et al., 2020). The bottle-shaped and short vomer without a posterior process (Fig. 5) is a synapomorphy of Listrura as proposed by de Pinna (1988) and Costa, Katz (2021). The new species possess a vomer with an elongated posterior process and a compressed anterior region, fitting that general shape. Within Listrura, a small and distinct process in the posterior region of the vomer is also present in L. picinguabae (Villa-Verde, Costa, 2006). Finally, an epural (sensu, Arratia, 1983) is observed in the 3D-reconstruction of the caudal skeleton of L. bernunssa (Fig. 7A), representing the first report of this bone in the genus.

    The pairwise genetic distances between the new species and its closest relatives are 2.9% for L. depinnai, 3.4% for L. boticario, and 6.1% for L. camposae are congruent with previously described sister-species (Tab. 4) (Villa-Verde et al., 2012). Our BI analyses of cox1 gene, indicate that L. bernunssa is the closest relative is L. depinnai, with L. boticario, and L. camposae as successive sister-group. Our topology closely resembles the one by Costa, Katz (2021), which incorporated multigene and morphological data.

    The first mention of the genus Listrura in the Santa Catarina Island refers to three specimens reported by Nico, de Pinna (1996), one of which is the paratype of L. bernunssa (MZUSP 63440). Based on the limited information available, these authors identified these specimens as belonging to a population of L. camposae, despite more than 400 km of distance to the type-locality of the latter species at Ribeira de Iguape River basin. Villa-Verde (2008) subsequently provided a brief description of two of those specimens (UFRJ 1278 and UFRJ 1279), proposing them as a putative new species, a hypothesis corroborated in Villa-Verde et al. (2013). More recently, Costa, Katz (2021) included these specimens of UFRJ in a phylogenetic analysis and cited them as Listrura sp. 1.

    Island endemic species evolved separately from continental populations, experiencing a distinctive evolutionary trajectory over time (Barbo et al., 2016), and are often classified as threatened with extinction due to their unique, limited, and usually vulnerable habitats. At least 12 vertebrate species are endemic of the continental islands of South and Southeast Brazil: five species of lancehead snakes [Bothrops insularis (Amaral, 1921), B. alcatraz Marques, Martins & Sazima, 2002, B. otavioi Barbo, Grazziotin, Sazima, Martins & Sawaya, 2012, B. sazimai Barbo, Gasparini, Almeida, Zaher, Grazziotin, Gusmão, Ferrarini & Sawaya, 2016 and B. germanoi Barbo, Booker, Duarte, Chaluppe, Portes-junior, Franco & Grazziotin, 2022] (Amaral, 1921; Marques et al., 2002; Barbo et al., 2012, 2016, 2022); five species of amphibians [Ischnocnema manezinho (Garcia, 1996) – endemic from the Santa Catarina Island –, Hylodes fredi Canedo & Pombal, 2007, Scinax peixotoi Brasileiro, Haddad, Sawaya & Martins, 2007, S. faivovichi Brasileiro, Oyamaguchi & Haddad, 2007 and Proceratophrys tupinamba Prado & Pombal, 2008) (Oswald et al., 2023; Canedo, Pombal 2007; Brasileiro et al., 2007a,b; Prado, Pombal, 2008); and two mammal species [Phyllomys thomasi (Ihering, 1897) and Cavia intermedia Cherem, Olimpio & Ximenez, 1999] (Vivo et al., 2011). In Brazil, Listrura bernunssa is the first freshwater fish endemic of a continental island in the AF, and only second freshwater trichomycterid family of an island (Fernández, Schaefer, 2005).

    The Santa Catarina Island has an area of 425 km², and the shortest distance to the mainland is about 500 m of shallow sea. However, the, marine oscillations driven by climatic fluctuations, primarily during the Pleistocene (2.580,0117 Mya), connected several islands, along the Brazilian coast, when sea level was 150 m lower (Martin et al., 1986; Thomaz et al., 2015; Leite et al., 2016; Oswald et al., 2023). Some paleorivers on the mainland and on the inland were then connected in their lower courses to the same paleodrainage system (Thomaz, Knowles, 2018). Speciation through population isolation, influenced by pleistocenic oscillations on islands has been hypothesized as the main vicariant agent involved in the speciation of the lancehead snake’s B. jararaca (Wied-Neuwied, 1824) species complex in the coastal islands of southeastern Brazil (Barbo et al., 2016, 2022) and of the leaf-litter frog I. manezinho on Santa Catarina Island (Oswald et al., 2023). The relevance of those factors in the vicariant event between L. bernunssa and its closest mainland relative requires further study.
