Corydoras evelynae
Corydoras evelynae Rössel, 1963
First described in: Rössel, F. (1963). Neue und seltene Corydoras-Arten aus Brasilien (Pisces, Teleostei, Callichthyidae). <em>Senckenbergiana Biologica.</em> 44 (5): 359-363. [New taxa also in Rössel 1966 [ref. 9060].].
Hoplisoma evelynae, Evelyn's cory, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Corydoradinae, the corys, of the family Callichthyidae, the armoured catfishes. This catfish is found in Colombia, being known to occur in the upper Solimões River, and probably in eastern Brazil as well.
Hoplisoma evelynae is oviparous. The female holds a batch of between 2 and 4 eggs between her pelvic fins, and the male takes around 30 seconds to fertilise each batch. The female then swims to a suitable spot, where she attaches the very sticky eggs. They repeat this process until around 100 eggs have been fertilised and stuck to a substrate.
