( Figs 1–3 View Figure 1 View Figure 2 View Figure 3 , 38A View Figure 38 , 41 View Figure 41 )

Type species: Arius nox Herre, 1935 .

Diagnosis

Accessory tooth plates small, oval to rounded (60, 0> 1); lateral and mesial portions of premaxilla of different sizes (121, 0> 1); metapterygoid anterior process acute (138, 1> 0).

Ambiguous optimization: Posterior cranial fontanel small (27, 1> 0); vomer lateral processes very narrow (53, 0> 1); maxilla lateral and mesial margins considerably closer to each other proximally, distally narrow and pointed (102, 2> 3); articulation of autopalatine with lateral ethmoid in middle of bone (111, 2> 1); first external branchiostegal ray narrow proximally and broad distally (147, 1> 0); posterior ceratohyal long (153, 0> 1).

Included species

Brustiarius nox Herre, 1935

Brustiarius solidus Herre, 1935

Brustiarius utarus Kailola, 1990 .

Habitat and distribution: Freshwater,northern New Guinea ( Fig.38 View Figure 38 ).

Remarks

As indicated by the total-evidence analysis, Brustiarius follows the definition and species composition proposed in previous morphological studies ( Kailola 2004, Marceniuk and Menezes 2007, Marceniuk et al. 2012), with the inclusion of Brustiarius utarus sensu Betancur-R. (2009). The species in Brustiarius were treated as a species flock, based on the shallow genetic divergences found by Betancur-R. (2009).
