Revision of Auchenoglanis

[Silurus]

Retzer, ME, 2010. Taxonomy of Auchenoglanis Günther 1865 (Siluriformes: Auchenoglanididae). Zootaxa 2655: 25–51.

Abstract

Teugels et al. (1991) considered the genus Auchenoglanis to be comprised of two valid species: A. biscutatus and A. occidentalis. A new analysis of all the nominal species and subspecies of the genus supports the recognition of all nominal taxa as species. Each species is diagnosed primarily on mensural characters, size and shape of the premaxillary tooth patches, and pigmentation patterns. In addition, a new species, Auchenoglanis senegali, is described from Senegal.

Good stuff, Silurus. I've always wondered why my giraffe cats look different and why there are differently-looking variants in Cat-eLog. I see you even dug up a 2005 post by Yellowcat.

Thank you.
