3. Pimelodella steindachneri nom. nov. 



Pimelodella wesselii Eigenmann & Eigenmann (non Steindachner), Proc. Cal. 



Acad. Sci. (2), Vol. I, 1888, p. 132 (Cudajas; Para; Marajo; Rio Madeira; 



Rio Puty; Santarem); Occasional Papers, Cal. Acad. Sci., I, 1890, p. 152; 



Eigenmann, Rep. Princeton Univ. Exped. Patagonia, HI, 1910, p. 389. 



Habitat. — Amazon Basin. 



The species described by Steindachner as P. wesselii from the Essequibo is 

 identical with P. cristata (Miiller & Troschel) from the same place. It is doubt- 

 ful whether the specimens enumerated by E. and E. in the papers quoted above 

 belong to the same species, and they are here set apart under a new name. The 

 species, if distinct, is very closely related to P. gracilis and P. cristata. Its caudal 

 is more like that of gracilis. Its maxillary barbel is longer than that of cristata.
