Two new species of Catostomus (sensu stricto) are described from northwest Mexico. One inhabits northeastern headwater streams in the RiМЃo Yaqui drainage and the other is widely distributred in the southern and southeastern parts of the RiМЃo Yaqui and in the upper RiМЃo Mayo basin. These new taxa exhibit low pharyngeal tooth counts, possibly indicating a close relationship between them. They are hypothesized to be members of an old, regional ichthyofauna that stretches from central Mexico to northwest United States"--P. [1].
