Description of current work: I primarily work on the morphological systematics of the Loricariidae, and I concentrate on a new subfamily (currently being described and revised with Roberto Reis and Edson Pereira) and the Hypostominae (which now includes the former Ancistrinae). Current revisions nearing completion include Lasiancistrus, Peckoltia, Hemiancistrus and related genera. I am also working on the molecular phylogenetics of the Hemiancistrus annectens group and am revising this group (with Justin Evans) and moelcular phylogeny of loricariids (with Michael Hardman). Fieldwork for all fishes has recently been completed in Guyana and Venezuela. Specimens are largely held at Auburn University’s fish collection.. I am also a Co-PI on the NSF-funded All Catfish Species Inventory that seeks to describe all species of catfishes and that provides funding for researchers the world over to complete this task. Please visit the ACSI website at: http://clade.acnatsci.org/allcatfish/. In non-catfishes, I am elevating the Atherinopsid Labisesthes vanhyningi (with David Werneke) and describing the southern population of the cyprinid Notropis buccatus (with Paul Pera) as a new species.

Vari); (10) the successful completion of the Coordination of a four and a half years (started on December 01, 1998 and ended on June 30, 2003) BIOTA/FAPESP's Thematic Project on the fish diversity of the headwaters and streams of the upper Paraná River system in the State of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil (with Heraldo A. Britski, José L. Figueiredo, Naércio A. Menezes, Julio C. Garavello, Richard P. Vari, Stanley H. Weitzman and many students and technicians from LIRP-USP and MZUSP). One the most valuable Project results was the incorporation in LIRP's fish collection of 16.679 stream fish specimens, belonging to six orders, 19 families, 52 genera and 95 species (about 15% undescribed) from the previously uncollected areas in the Upper Paraná River basin in the State of São Paulo. This collection is available for online consultation at http://splink.cria.org.br/. A major synthetic paper summarizing about a third of the Project's major results was already published (see the Literature section of this newsletter) and two similar ones are almost ready for submission

Description of current work: The focus of my research efforts and interests are in chondrichthyan (sharks, rays, chimaeras) biology, ecology, fisheries, and systematics. I am especially interested in the community ecology, ecomorphology, and habitat utilization by chondrichthyans within various ecosystems. To this end I have several broad-based projects ongoing in the Bering Sea, eastern North Pacific, and southern Africa. Most of these North American projects are being conducted in collaboration with several National Marine Fisheries Service Labs including the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, Seattle, WA, Northwest Fisheries, Newport, OR, and the Southwest Fisheries Lab, Santa Cruz, CA and in southern Africa I am collaborating with colleagues on several projects stemming from my earlier research on the chondrichthyan fauna of this region.

Description of current work: Not yet updated since last Newsletter. (1) We continue to enter data in the Catalog of Fishes database. Currently we are going through the 2003 "Check List of Freshwater Fishes of South and Central America" species-by-species. This large, important work has established or changed the status (valid, synonym) of hundreds of species. A new internet version probably will be posted in December 2003. (2) The "Annotated Checklist" project was continued, and the first CD was completed and all articles in it are online at www.calacademy.org/research/ ichthyology/annotated, with 2 more expected late in 2003/early 2004 (see Announcement section). A new 6 month grant was received to prepare a "draft list of available names in Ichthyology". Initially this list will include available names, unavailable names, and incertae sedis names, and it will be output from the Catalog of Fishes database. This is to take advantage of Article 79 in the 1999 Code, but the process is lengthy, and it involves consensus on the part of ichthyologists. Our first task is to post the list and let people examine it and question anything in it. We believe we can purge from Ichthyology thousands of unavailable generic and specific names that have no information content (and are clutter for all intents and purposes, including nomina nuda, names mentioned in passing, etc.). Additional programming will take place in December, and the list posted by mid-2004. We will see what responses we receive. We anticipate corrections and comments (some critical). Then the list would go to a group of societies or one society, and a proposal made to the International Commission. For available names, this list would fix the names (spellings), authorship, date, bibliographic reference, and types for species. Once approved, any newly found old names or earlier references, etc., are rejected. How typos and small errors are to be corrected subsequently is not addressed in Art. 79. Of all large disciplines, we probably are the closest to being able to prepare such a list. See Article 79 for more details. It is worth a try, but it will take more research in old literature and consensus building on such subjects as how to spell certain author names. (3) The Academy in Golden Gate Park closes at the end of 2003, and nearly all of the buildings will be demolished. The move to a large building on Howard Street in downtown San Francisco will begin in early 2004 for a period of about 4 years. We will be somewhat crowded, but all specimens will be available. Please see the announcement of the move in the Announcement section. We are preparing for the move at this time. (4) I plan to concentrate on the database project, and hope to find additional funding for more Annotated Checklists, but even without funding or until we find more funding, I anticipate I can work with authors on a few families at a time

Description of current work: I am involved in an EC sponsored project, ECOCARP, and now working mainly with (1) systematics of the Chinese cyprinid fishes Zacoo, Saurogobio, and Hemibarbus (Cyprinidae); (2) ichthyofauna of Hunan Province; and (3) freshwater fishes of Guangxi Province. This year I did two collecting trips in China, one in Guangxi Province, one in Beijing area. The first trip lasted for about four weeks and was interrupted due to the outbreak of the SARS. The second trip ran only for a week or so, and the collection was small both in terms of species number and specimen amount. Works on the Burmese cyprinids continued. A manuscript on Burmese Garra (c/w Sven Kullander) is soon completed. Besides all the above mentioned, my long term project is a phylogenetic analysis on all danionin or rasborine species

Johnson and other QM staff), and northern New South Wales (w/ M. McGrouther and other AMS staff). Research effort is currently a little slow as I settle into a new position. Nevertheless, the following papers should be submitted over the next few months: (1) pseudochromine and pseudoplesiopine pseudochromids of Socotra, including descriptions of two new species (w/ U. Zajonz); (2) molecular phylogeny of the Chaetodontidae (w/ S. McDonald, D.T.J. Littlewood and T.H. Cribb); (3) description of a new Acanthoplesiops (w/ R.D.

Jack Randall and I also completed our paper on the Marine Gobies of Hawaii where we described two new species. We also finished a paper on Easter Island cardinalfishes, describing two new species.
I also am working with Jack Randall to describe a number of new Eviota species.
I continue to work on toadfishes, describing a new species from Madagascar and Reunion with Wm. Leo Smith. I also have joined forces with Bruce Collette to complete a review of toadfish genera.
I participated in the Eastern Central Atlantic FAO workshop in Tenereffe writing the chapter on the Holocentridae and working with Bruce Collette on the Batrachoididae.

Description of current work: I have several ongoing research projects. Currently, I am working on the the comparative osteology and systematics of carangid fishes with Dave Johnson. In particular, we are studying the skeletal structure and development of the gill arches in this family. I am also working on various aspects of the skeletal anatomy of apteronotid fishes in collaboration with Cristina Cox Fernandes and others. I am also continuing work on a long term project on the comparative anatomy (particularly osteology) and phylogenetic systematics of fossil and living Acipenseriformes, in particular the genus Acipenser, in collaboration with Lance Grande and Willy Bemis. Other groups that I also have been working with lately include Lobotes, Ptilichthys, and osteoglossomorphs.
