Abstract:
Sorubim trigonocephalus was described in 1920 by AlÃ*pio de Miranda Ribeiro, based on a single specimen collected in a locality identified as “Porto Velho”, during the "Comissão das Linhas Telegráficas Estratégicas de Mato Grosso ao Amazonas” (more commonly known as Rondon Commission). Given that the type locality is Porto Velho, the species has been referred to the Madeira River basin (Lundberg & Littmann, 2003; Littmann, 2007; Eschmeyer et al., 2016). Nevertheless, after its description, no additional specimens were collected in the Madeira basin despite several ichthyological expeditions undertaken to the area (Santos, 1996; Camargo & Giarrizzo, 2007; Rapp Py-Daniel
et al., 2007; Perin
et al., 2007; Pedroza
et al., 2012; Casatti
et al., 2013; Queiroz
et al., 2013a), some of them including region of Porto Velho (Fowler, 1913; Araújo
et al., 2009; Torrente-Vilara
et al., 2011; Queiroz
et al., 2013b).
