Abstract
Two new Isbrueckerichthys species from Paranapanema river basin are described, I.saxicola and I.calvus, respectively from ribeirão Jacutinga and rio Taquara affluents. Both species present all diagnostic characters of the genus, and differ from their congeners by having bicuspid teeth (vs.
simple teeth in I.alipionis), hypertrophied odontodes along the lateral margin of head (vs. hypertrophied odontodes only at the anterior portion of snout in I.epakmos) and longer pectoral-fin spine and shorter caudal peduncle length in relation to I.duseni. The new species can be
distinguished from each other by number of odontodes in each minute abdominal platelet (more than six in I.saxicola vs. at most six in I.calvus); by the presence of a plated area under the three
first plates of the lateral line in I.saxicola vs. its absence in I.calvus in which this region is naked; by a exposed portion of cleithrum bordering the entire margin of the opercular opening in I.saxicola vs. bordering just the superior portion in I.calvus; and by presenting the exposed surface
of supraoccipital plain or slightly convex in I.saxicola vs. strongly convex with an area without odontodes on the center in I.calvus.
