Formosa. No types known. Pterygoplichthys anisitsi Eigenmann and

Impact Level Impact Description

0 No data available, no impacts known, not detectable, or not applicable

1 Minor impacts, only locally, only on common species, negligible economic loss

2 Minor impacts, more widespread, also on rarer species, minor economic loss

3 Medium impacts, large-scale, several species concerned, relevant decline, relevant ecosystem modifications, medium economic loss

4 Major impact with high damage, major changes in ecosystem functions, decrease of species, major economic loss

5 Major large-scale impact with high damage and complete destruction, threat to species including local extinctions, high economic costs

Type locality: Paraguay and Southern Bolivia [restricted by Weber (1992:28) to: Paraguyan Chaco [...] région Vila Concepción (= Concepción) - Caraya Vuelta -2/3 Piste Pozo Colorado, probablement Waikthlatingmayalwa (=?

R e m a r k s: Weber (1992 2003) treated Liposarcus ambrosettii Holmberg, 1893 , as a nomen oblitum, but its use in several publications negate that status. Redescribed as Liposarcus anisitsi in Weber (1992:13).
