          Abstract

          Chaetostoma formosae sp. nov. is described from piedmont tributaries of the upper río Meta on the Cordillera Oriental in Colombia. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by the presence of an elongate unbranched anal-fin ray with two posterior dermal ridges in mature males, the presence of strongly recurved cheek odontodes, the presence of a parieto-supraoccipital dermal keel, the posterior margin of the pelvic-fin strongly projected and angulate in shape in mature males, and by details of coloration. The new species belongs to an informal monophyletic group herein called the Chaetostoma anale species group, along with two additional species, C. anale and C. jegui, from Colombia and Brazil respectively, based on an apomorphic modification of the anal fin in mature males.

          Se describe Chaetostoma formosae, sp. nov. de tributarios pedimontanos del alto río Meta sobre la Cordillera Oriental en Colombia. La nueva especie se distingue de sus congéneres por la presencia de un radio alargado no ramificado en la aleta anal con dos carnosidades longitudinales posteriores en machos maduros, presencia de odontoides cefálicos fuertemente recurvados, presencia de una quilla carnosa parieto-supraoccipital, margen posterior de las aletas pélvicas fuertemente proyectado y de forma angular en machos maduros, así como detalles de coloración. Se propone que la nueva especie pertenece a un grupo monofilético informal llamado en el presente trabajo el grupo de especies Chaetostoma anale, junto con dos especies adicionales, C. anale y C. jegui, de Colombia y Brasil respectivamente, con base en una apomorfia de la aleta anal en machos maduros.
