Apisto from Rio Meta?

[mrjbacon]

I'm looking for an apisto species that is from one of these localities listed in this SeriouslyFish for another species I'll be keeping:

"Endemic to the middle Río Orinoco watershed in Colombia (departments of Meta, Casanare, Arauca, Vichada, and Guainía) and Venezuela (states of Amazonas, Apure, Guárico, and Bolivar). It appears to be widespread in tributaries between the ríos Ventauri and Apure, although the majority of records pertain to the Río Meta and its affluents, including the ríos Humadea, Guatiquá, Manacacías, Cusiana, and Casanare.

Upstream of the Meta’s confluence with the Orinoco it has been collected in the ríos Ventauri, Guaviare (including the ríos Ariari and Inírida), Tomo, and Cataniapo, while downstream there exist records from the ríos Cinaruco, Capanaparo, Guárico, and Apure. It is also likely to occur in other Orinoco tributaries within this region.

Type locality is ‘Barrigona, Río Meta, Orinoco system, Colombia’."

Can anyone suggest some attractive and/or less commonly available apisto species from one of these localities?

Have you tried Fishbase? Type in location, genus, and see what appears.

I had not, I didn't know you could search by genus and locality anywhere. The best I could come up with was the article on Martin and Tom's website and then matching the locality on the map to the lineage charts. A. elizabethae, hongsloi, and iniridae were the only ones I came up with...
