Abstract

We report here on an albino specimen of Schizolecis guntheri caught in the rio Bonito in the rio Macaé basin, Rio de Janeiro State, southeastern Brazil. The hypothesis that albinism is more common in fishes with cryptobiotic and/or nocturnal habits is strengthened by additional records of this chromatic anomaly.Relatamos aqui o albinismo em um espécime de Schizolecis guntheri capturado no rio Bonito na bacia do rio Macaé, estado do Rio de Janeiro. A hipótese do albinismo ser mais comum em peixes com hábitos criptobióticos e/ou noturnos é fortalecida por registros adicionais desta anomalia cromática.
