Distribution range extension of yaguajal Limia, Limia yaguajali (Teleostei: Poeciliidae) from north of the Dominican Republic, Hispaniola

Abstract

In this study we report two new distribution records of Limia yaguajali Rivas, 1980, a livebearing fish previously reported only from Río Yaguajal (type locality) in northwestern Dominican Republic, Hispaniola. We provide a description for an appropriate species identification and also characterize new habitats where this species was reported.
