Note: The fish classification is being revised on the light of several recent works and re-assessments. Catalog of Fishes has adopted a new one in its last online version dated 1st November 2017 at a time when the paper was already accepted. We recommend to the users of this list to be cautious when referring to the classification we used in this paper. However new changes will be progressively integrat- ed in the list available from the INPN website .
