Collections of freshwater-fishes, made in recent years in Suriname, have yielded four species of Auchenipteridae and ten species of Pimelodidae. Of the latter, two species, viz., Phractocephalus hemioliopterus and Pimelodus heteropleurus, are additions to the list given by Mees (1974: 237238), but the occurrence of Phractocephalus hemioliopterus in Suriname had already been mentioned by Geijskes (1973) and was thoroughly discussed by Boeseman (1983).
