All of new silurids name were reprted from my master thesis at Kasetsart University, Bangkok Thailand " Comparative anatomy and redescription of Thai Silurid catfish (Pisces: Family Siluridae), 2001" base on 2276 specimens that mainly are Thai specimens. In this thesis have main topic that is comparative anatomy and morphology of Thai Silurids catfishes. I understand about zoological nomenclature law. I know maybe all of this new species are unavailable taxonomic status(= sp.1,2,3). I my idea the goal of taxonomic studies is clearing description, good key to identify; new species is only bonus after clearing hard work.

Thanks :wink: :wink:
