Some of the exciting fish featured this year will include two new

Killifish that was collected last month in Peru by Dave Koran, Markus
Brown and myself near the Las Peidras Research Station, tentatively
identified as Aphyolebias sp. aff. boticarioi. I am anxious to get these
into Dr. Collier's hands for further analysis!
