COPEINA Fowler, 1906

MMF Marinho

Copeina Fowler, 1906:294 . Type species: Pyrrhulina argyrops Cope, 1878 . Type by original designation. Gender: Feminine.

Copeina guttata (Steindachner, 1876)

Pyrrhulina guttata Steindachner, 1876a:15 , Pl. 2 (figs. 6 and 5a). Type locality: Nebenbäche und Ausstände des Amazonenstromes bei Obidos, Cudajas und Tabatinga so wie des Rio negro. [Affluents of the rio Amazonas nearby Óbidos, Codajás and Tabatinga, as well as rio Negro, Brazil]. Syntypes: NMW 56966, 56967, 56969; MCZ 6833, 6429; USNM 120282, ZMB 10425; ZMUC 143, 143x ( Weitzman, Weitzman, 2003). [Picture and X-ray of the ZMB syntype provided by Zarske (2012b: the mouth of the Napo. [Ambiguity exists concerning the exact origin of the specimens: “Pebas, below the mouth of the Napo”, “near Pebas” or even other localities listed by Cope (1878) who mentioned that specimens collected in 1877 “were partly obtained near Pebas”]. Lectotype: ANSP 21441. [Designated by Fowler (1906:295). Böhlke (1984:118)].

Distribution: 314, 316 (Steindachner, 1876a).

Remarks: Plate 2 of Steindachner is erroneously labeled (Myers, 1956). Thus figs. 5a and 6 are Copeina guttata and figs. 5 and 6a are Copella nattereri ( Weitzman, Weitzman, 2003) .

Copeina osgoodi Eigenmann, 1922

Copeina osgoodi Eigenmann, 1922:232 . Type locality: Nazareth , Peru. Holotype: FMNH 15352 .

Distribution: 313 (Eigenmann, 1922).

Remarks: There is no recent taxonomic review of Copeina . Weitzman, Weitzman (2003), suggested that there could be only one species, Copeina guttata .
