I guess Jools is going to have some more work to do.

Too bad about Hara. I have a sentimental attachment to the name. The ICZN should require that before ichthyologists sink genera, they should consider popular sentiment.

Nevermind the fact that I`m giving a talk on Indian catfishes in Sweden in the next 24 hours and a sizeable % of my IDs are now "wrong".

That'll cause some synonyms as well

The name may be back in another form, since the dwarf species (H. jerdoni and possibly an undescribed Burmese species) might possibly belong to a separate genus.

Just to confuse things, an upcoming reveiw of Hara (of which I am coauthor) maintains the distinctiveness of the two genera.
