Box 20125, 1000 HC Amsterdam, The Nerlands Abstract This paper contains records and/or descriptions of twelve species of Callichthyid catfish genus Corydoras Lacepède, 1803, including two new species, from Colombian rivers, Rio Amazonas excluded: Corydoras trilineatus Cope, 1872, C. delphax n. sp., C. leucomelas Eigenmann & Allen, 1942, C. aeneus (Gill, 1858), C. melanotaenia Regan, 1912, C. metae Eigenmann, 1914, C. melini Lönnberg & Rendahl, 1930, C. reynoldsi Myers & Weitzman, 1960, C. axelrodi Rössel, 1962, C. loxozonus n. sp., C. elegans Steindachner, 1877, and C. simulatus Weitzman & Nijssen, The relationships of new species with or species of Corydoras are discussed. A key to species is provided. A Colombian representative of each species is illustrated. INTRODUCTION Two species are herein described as new to science: C. delphax and C. loxozonus. Twelve species of Callichthyid catfish genus The remaining four species were originally Corydoras Lacepede, 1803, are recorded in this described from elsewhere, viz.: C. aeneus (Gill, paper from Colombian rivers, Rio 1858) from Trinidad, C. trilineatus Cope, 1872, Amazonas excluded. Of this Colombian and C. leucomelas Eigenmann & Allen, 1942, material, morphometric and meristic data are from Peru (Corydoras caquetae Fowler, 1943, a given, according to methods described for junior synonym of C. leucomelas, was described species of genus Aspidoras Von Ihering, 1907 (cf. Nijssen & Isbriicker, 1976: 108). Of se twelve species, six have been originally from Colombia), and C. elegans Steindachner, 1877, from Brazil. Of all se species a Colombian specimen is originally described from Colombia: Corydoras illustrated. A key to species is provided. melanotaenia Regan, 1912, C. metae Eigenmann, Only those specimens which we have actually 1914, C. melini Lonnberg & Rendahl, 1930 examined have been included in this paper. (from Brazilian/Colombian border), C. Of twelve recorded species only one, Cory reynoldsi Myers & Weitzman, 1960, C. axelrodi doras melini, is found both in tributaries to Rfo Rossel, 1962, and C. simulatus Weitzman & Nijssen, Orinoco and in tributaries to Rio Amazonas (fig!) 53

J. metae, C. melini, C. axelrodi, C. loxozonus, and C. simulatus. In tributaries to Rio Amazonas (Rio Vaupes, Rio Caqueta) following species are found: C. trilineatus, C. leucomelas, C. melini, C. reynoldsi, and C. elegans.

Bauchot), Naturhistorisches Museum Wien species occur in Colombia, since ichthyofauna of this country is poorly known. Cala (1977: 12) listed seven species of Corydoras from Orinoco Basin of Colombia, without exact locality data or records of deposited specimens. Among se are Corydoras agassizii Steindachner, 1877, C. reticulatus FraserBrunner, 1938, and C. arcuatus Elwin, Although we rar expected se three species to occur in tributaries to Rio Amazonas, no specimens were available to justify confirmation of ir occurrence in Colombian waters. Although Corydoras melanotaenia was originally described from Rio Magdalena Basin (Honda), we were unable to find any Corydoras specimen from this river in museum col system (NMW), Vienna P. Kahsbauer & (Dr. Dr. R. Hacker), Senckenberg Museum (SMF), Frankfurt (Dr. W. Klausewitz), Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet (NRM), Stockholm S. (Mr. O.
