[[Genus Campellolebias Vaz-Ferreira & Sierra ^ZBK ]]

Discussion

Reevaluation of phylogenetic morphological characters used in previous studies (e. g., Costa, 1990, 1998) indicates an hypothesis similar to those formerly presented, in which Campellolebias ^ZBK is a strongly supported clade, and the sister group to Cynopoecilus ^ZBK (Fig. 1). Campellolebias intermedius, not available in previous phylogenetic studies of the genus, is hypothesized to be the sister group to a clade including C. chrysolineatus ^ZBK and C. brucei ^ZBK. Therefore, although C. intermedius and C. dorsimaculatus ^ZBK are known from neighboring regions of the rio Ribeira de Iguape basin, they are not closely related taxa. However, records for Campellolebias ^ZBK are still scarce, thus preventing biogeographic analyses.
