Resumo
Trichogenes longipinnis (Britski & Ortega, 1983) is a leather fish restricted to the rivers on the shore in the southeast of Brazil. In this work, the oesophagous structure is being showed. The oesophagous appears itself short, dorsally inclinated toward pericardium and ventrally covered by liver lobe. By electron microscopy we can observe a mucosa layer formed by stratified squamous epithelium and lamina propria with stratum compactum. The epithelium is composed by three types of cells: superficial squamous cells; mucous cells, similar to the globet cells and polyhedric cells. The stratification of this epithelium provides a complete basal layer of proliferation polyhedric cells. The cells in the intermediate region of the epithelium are also polyhedric. These cells are just bellow the superficial squamous cells and packed among mucous cells.
