Capturas fluviais foram pouco investigadas no Brasil e apenas recentemente essa situação se alterou e sua ocorrência e feições correlatas foram sistematicamente estudadas para as grandes bacias fluviais não Amazônicas. Esse artigo sintetiza os principais resultados obtidos nos últimos cinco anos e apresenta a diversidade de magnitude e morfológica em seis capturas fluviais ao longo de quatro divisores entre as principais bacias hidrográficas do Brasil. Os resultados indicam que o nível de base, seguido da litoestrutura e da tectônica, constituem os fatores determinantes para ocorrência desses processos. Indicam ainda que as bacias hidrográficas atlânticas estão pirateando áreas das ditas continentais – Paraná e São Francisco – e que essa pirataria acelera o recuo erosivo do escarpamento da margem passiva sul-americana. Por fim, determinaram que as capturas causam a dissecação da rede de drenagem capturada, invertem o fluxo dos canais logo a jusante e, por fim, promovem o rebaixamento geral do relevo pirateado. Large fluvial captures in Brazil: synthesis of new discoveriesRiver captures have barely been studied in Brazil, and only recently the process and correlated features have been systematically studied for non-Amazonian major river basins. This paper synthesizes the main results obtained for the last five years and presents the diversity in magnitude and morphology of six river captures along the four divider of Brazilian-major river basins. The results indicate that the base level, followed by the lithostructure and tectonics, are the determining factors for the occurrence of these processes. They also indicate that the Atlantic basins are pirating areas of the continental ones - Paraná and São Francisco - and that this piracy accelerates the erosive retreat of the South American passive margin escarpment. Finally, they determined that the captures cause the dissection of the drainage network, invert the flow of the channels shortly downstream, and finally, promote the general lowering of the pirated relief. Keywords: River capture, Brazil, Major Basin Dividers, Fluvial Channel.

Pachypops is a South American freshwater sciaenid genus characterized by having two anal-fin spines, three mental barbels, an inferior mouth, a swimbladder with a pair of short appendages anteriorly and a pair of longer appendages projected posteriorly, and the haemal spine of the first caudal distinctly expanded. Three valid Pachypops species are recognized herein. Of the six nominal species previously assigned to Pachypops, two are herein recognized as valid (Perca fourcroi and Micropogon trifilis), two are assigned to other sciaenid genera (Pachypops adspersus and Pachypops cevegei) and two are considered junior synonyms (Corvina biloba and Pachypops camposi). A seventh nominal species, Pachyurus nattereri, formerly considered a valid species of Pachyurus, is determined to be a junior synonym of Pachypops fourcroi, and lectotype and paralectotypes are designated for it. Pachypops fourcroi occurs in the Orinoco, Amazonas, Essequibo, Corantijn, and Approuague River basins, and Pachypops trifilis in rivers of Guyana and middle and lower reaches of the Rio Amazonas basin. A third valid species, Pachypops pigmaeus n. sp., is herein described from tributaries of the Rio Amazonas, Brazil.

AbstractThe Sonar River Valley is centrally located in Madhya Pradesh, flanked by rich Palaeolithic and fossiliferous localities in the Son and Narmada Valleys and has historically been overlooked in favour of the latter rivers, that tend to preserve well stratified Quaternary formations along varying portions of their length. Here an attempt is made to look at the Sonar basin through a broader lens, examining the various landforms found in the district of Damoh through which the Sonar flows before joining the Ken. The objective of this paper is threefold: to bring together the geomorphology of the area both in association with and as a result of fluvial action but also as a product of other geomorphic processes; to understand the consequence these processes have on the visibility of the prehistoric archaeological record within the region; and to look at this geoarchaeological relationship in the wider context of some of the major river basins in Madhya Pradesh, notably the Son and Narmada. Secondary sources on geology and geoarchaeology have been integrated with preliminary fieldwork in Districts Damoh and Narsinghpur, and to a smaller extent in Sagar, Chhatarpur and Panna. This work demonstrates the complexity of the South Asian Palaeolithic record that stretches beyond fluvial contexts, in turn helping to spatially expand our understanding of hominin behaviour beyond narrow riverine corridors.
