Caudal fin with pale blue horizontal lines on middle, light golden on dorsal and ventral portions of fin; two short dark-orangish red stripes through anterior portion dorsal and ventral submarginal parts of fin; dark-orangish red narrow stripes parallel to fin rays between caudal-fin base and posterior margin of fin. Pectoral fins: hyaline. Pelvic fins: dark orange.</p> <p>Females: trunk and head, light-orangish brown; fins, hyaline; iris, yellow.</p> <p>Distribution: Known to occur only from the type locality: seasonal pools in the Itanhaém river basin, São Paulo state, south-eastern Brazil (Fig. 4).</p> <p>Habitat and conservation: Leptolebias itanhaensis sp. nov. is found in shallow (about 10–40-cm deep), temporary channels within dense rainforest, in teacoloured and acidic (pH 3.5–4.0) water that contains litter at the bottom. No other fishes were found at this habitat, but some temporary channels may be in contact with small creeks containing the rivulid Rivulus santensis Köhler, 1906, the characids Mimagoniates lateralis (Nichols, 1913), Rachoviscus crassiceps Myers, 1926, and Hollandichthys multifasciatus (Eigenmann &amp; Norris, 1900), and the callichthyid Scleromystax macropterus (Regan, 1913). The area is undergoing slight urbanization, making L. itanhaensis sp. nov. an endangered species.</p> <p>Etymology: The name itanhaensis denotes the occurrence of the new species in the Itanhaém river basin, an isolated small coastal drainage of south-eastern Brazil.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D387F6FF92E538D6C5F969D68D409F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

NOV.</p> <p>Type species: Cynolebias minimus Myers, 1942.</p> <p>Diagnosis: Distinguished from all other genera of Cynopoecilina (Leptolebias, Cynopoecilus, and Campellolebias) by the possession of dermosphenotic (vs. dermosphenotic absent), basihyal narrow, roughly rectangular (Fig. 3) (vs. wide, triangular), welldeveloped contact organs on most inner surface of pectoral fin in males (vs. contact organs reduced or absent), opercular region with red bars in males (Fig. 11) (vs. red reticulation), and iridescent bars or vertical lines on caudal fin in males (Fig. 11) (vs. bars absent). Also differs from Leptolebias in having teeth on second pharyngobranchial (teeth absent), caudal fin subtruncate to rounded, short, deeper than long (Fig. 11) (vs. elliptical to lanceolate, longer than deep), two anterior supraorbital neuromasts (vs. single anterior supraorbital neuromast), and dark pigmentation extending over entire dorsal fin in males (vs. not extending to distal third of dorsal fin).</p> <p>Included species: Notholebias minimus (Myers) comb. nov.; Notholebias fractifasciatus (Costa) comb. nov.; and Notholebias cruzi (Costa) comb. nov.</p> <p>Distribution: Coastal plains of south-eastern Brazil, between the São João river floodplains and Itaguaí, Rio de Janeiro state.</p> <p>Etymology: The name Notholebias is an allusion to the superficial resemblance between species included in the new genus and some species of the African killifish genus Nothobranchius Peters, 1868, in particular Nothobranchius lourensi Wildekamp, 1977, which have similar colour patterns and similar body proportions (from the Greek nothos = false, taken from the name Nothobranchius, and lebias = small fish, a name often used to compose generic names of rivulid fishes). Gender masculine.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D387F6FF9DE535D5BAFA72D71341D2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
