| Funding | Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (project No 5211411), Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos Alexander von Humboldt, and Oleoducto Bicentenario (project No. 4400000166); cooperation agreement between Fundación Reserva Natural La Palmita, Centro de Investigación and IAvH (No. 15-14-172-010CE), and Gobernación de Casanare (consulting contract No. 1819-2014). |
| Study Area Description | The Cusiana River sub-basin has an extension of 7324 km² and 271 km in length, originating at 3800 m asl on the eastern slope of the Eastern Cordillera in the quebradas La Iglesia, Melgarejo, and Las Cañas, Boyacá Department (5°35’N 72°47’W), and empties at 150 m asl in the Meta river, Casanare Department (4°31’N 71°51’W) (IGAC 1999). |

Sampling Methods
The checklist was assembled through direct examination of specimens deposited in the Colombian ichthyological collections. A total of 2020 lots from 167 different localities from the Cusiana River sub-basin were examined and ranged from 153 to 2970 m in elevation.
| Study Extent | The Cusiana River sub-basin has an extension of 7324 km² and 271 km in length, originating at 3800 m asl on the eastern slope of the Eastern Cordillera in the quebradas La Iglesia, Melgarejo, and Las Cañas, Boyacá Department (5°35’N 72°47’W), and empties at 150 m asl in the Meta river, Casanare Department (4°31’N 71°51’W) (IGAC 1999). The Cusiana River sub-basin was divided by altitudinal limits in three distinctive regions: llanos (139–300 m asl), piedmont (300–1235 m asl) and high Andes (1235–3000 m asl), based on fish composition and river characteristics recorded within sampling points, following the boundaries and delimitation of Abell et al. (2008) for freshwater ecoregions. |

Method step description:
- The checklist was assembled through direct examination of specimens deposited in Colombian ichthyological collections. Acronyms used in the text follow Sabaj (2016) except uncatalogued material housed at Fundación Universitaria del Trópico Americano (UNITROPICO). The taxonomic list follows the classification system proposed by Reis et al. (2003) with recent modifications proposed by Oliveira et al. (2011) for characiform families, Betancur-R et al. (2014) at high-level groups for osteichthyans in general, and Thomaz et al. (2015) for genera of the Stevardiinae. Valid species names were confirmed through queries on the Catalog of Fishes of the California Academy of Sciences (Eschmeyer and Fricke, 2016). The species recorded were categorized as endemic (DoNascimiento et al. 2017), threatened (Mojica et al. 2012), migratory (Usma et al. 2013), and species subject of conservation (González et al. 2015).
- Species richness interpolation and extrapolation were carried out following Chao et al. (2014) and using the package iNEXT (Hsieh et al. 2016). Number of localities per Orinocoan basin follow DoNascimiento et al. (2017).
- Finally, in order to share the information produced herein, the dataset was shared in SiB Colombia’s data portal (Colombian node of GBIF) in accordance with their protocols, as a species list. For the latter, the complete dataset was structured and standardized to comply with the international biodiversity standard: Darwin Core standard (Wieczorek et al. 2012). After mounting the dataset on a Darwin Core spreadsheet template, it was uploaded to SiB Colombia’s Integrated Publishing Tool for international visualization in their data portal. A DOI was provided by SiB Colombia for the shared dataset and it is presented herein.
