This comprehensive study on cleared and stained specimens and dry skeletons of Iheringichthys labrosus demonstrates many similarities with Pimelodus maculatus, showing a conservative skeleton with differences only in the shape of buccal apparatus bones. Bergiaria westermanni diverges from I. labrosus only by a reduced premaxilla and loss of teeth, suggesting autapomorphies of the species and casting doubt on the validity of the genus. Conorhynchos conirostris also has a conical snout and small mouth but does not share several synapomorphies of the Pimelodus-Callophysus group observed in I. labrosus.\n\u00a0<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.11646\/zootaxa.5601.3.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,9]],"date-time":"2025-03-09T21:20:09Z","timestamp":1741555209000},"page":"429-450","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Osteology of the long-whiskered catfish Iheringichthys labrosus L\u00fctken, 1874 (Siluriformes, Pimelodidae) from the upper Paran\u00e1 River basin, southern Brazil"],"prefix":"10.11646","volume":"5601","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2883-5934","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"OSCAR AKIO","family":"SHIBATTA","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-1767-1693","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"HUGO SUM DE SOUZA","family":"FILHO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4913","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"415255","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abes, S.S., Agostinho, A.A., Okada, E.K. & Gomes, L.C.
