Thomaz, Arcila, Ortí & Malabarba, 2015: Add. File 5 [tentative classification].</p><p><b>Diagnosis.</b> <i>Gephyrocharax torresi</i> differs from its congeners (except <i>G. melanocheir</i>) by the adipose fin absent or vestigial (<i>vs</i>. adipose fin present) and the fan-shaped structure of adult males, formed on the distal portion of the outermost branched pectoral-fin ray. From most of its congeners it is distinguished by lacking terminal lateral-line tube between caudal-fin rays 10 and 11, except <i>G. melanocheir</i>, <i>G. sinuensis</i>, and <i>G. v a l e n c i a</i>. The whitish area or dark blotch pigmenting the distal portion of the outermost branched pectoral-fin ray of adult males also differentiates <i>G. torresi</i> from almost all its congeners (except <i>G. martae</i> and <i>G. melanocheir</i>). The species is further distinguished from <i>G. atracaudatus</i>, <i>G. chocoensis</i>, <i>G. intermedius</i>, <i>G. major</i>, and <i>G. venezuelae</i> by the externally developed urogenital papillae (<i>vs</i>. this papillae not externally developed). The anterior fontanel of adult specimens reduced or extremely absent by the extensive contact between frontals medially differentiates <i>G. torresi</i> from <i>G. caucanus</i>, <i>G. melanocheir</i>, and <i>G. v a l en c i a</i> (<i>vs</i>. anterior fontanel well developed or, when frontals slightly contacting anterior to epiphyseal bar, forming a medium-sized opening). <i>Gephyrocharax torresi</i> also is distinguished from <i>G. atracaudatus</i>, <i>G. caucanus</i>, <i>G. chocoensis</i>, <i>G. intermedius</i>, <i>G. major</i>, and <i>G. venezuelae</i> by the gill-gland length (6.0–10.3 % SL <i>vs</i>. 0.5–5.4 % SL).</p><p><b>Description.</b> This species was recently described by Vanegas-Ríos <i>et al.</i> (2013).</p><p><b>Distribution.</b> <i>Gephyrocharax torresi</i> is only known from the Sucio River basin (Magdalena basin) in Colombia (Fig. 1).</p><p><b>Remarks.</b> During the reexamination of the type series of <i>G. t o r re s i</i>, the absence or fusion of the fourth infraorbital (on both sides of head) present in larger specimens were found in the 60 % of the specimens. This variation was not noticed in the species description (Vanegas-Ríos <i>et al.</i> 2013). The loss of the fourth infraorbital cannot be used as diagnostic of <i>G. torresi</i> at present time, because it needs to be further studied to clarify whether this is intraspecifically variable or not. Nevertheless, it would be recommendable to consider this feature in subsequent comparisons between this species and <i>G. melanocheir</i>.</p><p>Some specimens from the Topón River in Santander, which is situated at an intermediate locality between the distributional range of <i>G. melanocheir</i> and <i>G. t o r re s i</i>, were identified as the earlier species (ICNMHN, 17777, 17790, 17817, and 17826). These specimens were not analyzed by Vanegas-Ríos <i>et al.</i> (2013) in their comparison of both species.</p><p><b>Material examined.</b> All specimens from Colombia, Santander: UIST 1767, <b>holotype</b> of <i>Gephyrocharax torresi</i>, 36.7 mm SL, male, El Carmen, Magdalena River basin, La Colorada River basin, Cascajales River system, Sucio River basin, Caño Volador, 639'56.44"N 7334'47.36"W, approximately 338 m a. s. l.
