[ES] Se describe una nueva especie de Squalius en base a caracteres morfológicos y genéticos. Esta nueva especie está restringida al río Gallo (cuenca del Tajo) en el centro de España y difiere del resto de las especies ibéricas de Squalius en una serie de caracteres morfométricos, merísticos y genéticos, tales como huesos infraorbitarios anchos pero que no cubren totalmente el músculo adductor mandibulae; siete escamas en la línea transversal superior, menor número de escamas en la línea lateral media = 39.8 (39-42); cabeza corta y ancha, siendo 4.3-4.9 (media = 4.5) veces la longitud estándar; longitud ventral-pectoral corta alcanzando 2.2-2.4 (media = 2.3) veces la longitud estándar. La nueva especie difiere de sus taxones más cercanos, en término de distancias geneticas GTR, en 20 posiciones nucleótidicas fijadas (autopomorfías moleculares) en el gen mitocondrial citocromo b. La divergencia genética entre la nueva especie descrita respecto a S. carolitertii y S. pyrenaicus para el gen citocromo b fue de 3.8% y 6.1% respectivamente. Esta nueva especie debería ser considerada En Peligro Crítico (CR) de acuerdo con las Categorías de la Lista Roja de la IUCN.
[EN] A new species of Squalius is described on the basis of morphological and genetic characters from the Gallo River and its tributaries (Tagus Basin) in central Spain. The new species is distinguished from other Iberian Squalius species by a combination of morphometric, meristic and genetic characters, such as wide infraorbital bones that do not cover the adductor mandibulae muscle; seven scales on the upper transversal line; small number of lateral line scales, mean = 39.8 (39-42); a short and wide head, 4.3-4.9 (mean = 4.5) times the standard length; Short pectoral-ventral length, reaching 2.2-2.4 (mean = 2.3) times the standard length. The new species differs from its closer taxa in terms of genetic GTR distances, S. carolitertii and S. pyrenaicus at 20 fixed nucleotide positions (molecular autapomorphies), in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Genetic divergence values for this new species and S. carolitertii and S. pyrenaicus are 3.8% and 6.1% respectively. The new species should be considered Critically Endangered (CR) according to the IUCN Red List Categories.
