Your distribution is misleading. The Type location is "... near west coast of Lake Tanganyika" - it doens't imply that the fish is actually available IN L. Tanganyika.

Not of any use for Planet Catfish: The information that we would use is wrong.

nonsens,

in the catalog of fishes (see http://research.calacademy.org/redirect ... atmain.asp) was Allabenchelys dhonti sitched of name of Clarias dhonti

[MatsP]

And in both your objections, you have clearly not even understood what my objection is. Can I make it clear that the objection is that the distribution you have given is incorrect and misleading. In the other post is also equally troubled in the distribution field.

I have not said anything about the synonyms.
