Re: Ap. jurua

[Mike & Diane Wise <apistowise@fgn.net>]

Francine,

The fish pictured in Uwe's book as A. juruensis is actually A. sp.
Black-chin/Schwarzkinn, a closely related but different species. Warzel
originally used the name A. sp. Juruá for another cacatuoides-like species from
the upper Juruá around Cruzeiro do Sul, Brazil. It is the same species labeled
A. sp. Jurua Emerald in Yamazaki's book & A. sp. Goias Redtail by Lucanus (TFH,
XLVII(4)(#514):10). Since the fish comes from nowhere near the Brazilian state
of Goiás, and names including 'Juruá' were being confused with A. juruensis,
Koslowski decided it best to change the name to A. sp Cruzeiro in his new book.
If it doesn't look like a cacatuoides-group species, then I'll need more
information.
