SUMMARY:

Hypsolebia antenori is a seasonal killifish considered to be broadly distributed along the Caatinga’s basins of
northeastern Brazil, with records in the coastal drainages of the rio Pacoti, rio Jaguaribe, córrego Virgílio and rio
Apodi-Mossoró basins. Based on morphological characters and molecular phylogenetic reconstructions, it was
possible to diagnose two new species and restrict H. antenori to the rio Jaguaribe basin. Hypsolebias gongobira new
species is described from a temporary pool in the rio Pacoti basin in Ceará State, in syntopy with the species
threatened H. longignatus. Hypsolebias bonita new species occurs in the floodplains of the rio Apodi-Mossoró basin
and in the córrego Virgílio microbasin in the Furna Feia National Park, in Rio Grande do Norte State. We also discuss
the conservation status of these new species and how the São Francisco Interbasin Water transfer, and the
agricultural and urban expansion in the semiarid may be adversely affecting these seasonal killifishes.
