Panaque cochliodon and suttonorum teeth mistake

[matthewfaulkner]

I was broswing through the clog for

Panaque suttonorum

and

Panaque cf_cochliodon`upper_magdalena`

and noticed a mistake in the ID section.

It looks like there has been a misquote, originating from the Lujan, Hidalgo & Stewart (2010) 'Revision of Panaque.'

Panaque suttonorum

in the clog reads like this - "P. suttonorum can be distinguished from all other large Panaque species by having greater than five dentary and premaxillary teeth (all other large Panaque have 3-4)."

The quote from Lujan et al (2010) is - "Panaque suttonorum is diagnosed from all members of subgenus Scobinancistrus by having greater than five dentary and premaxillary teeth (vs. three or four dentary and premaxillary teeth)."

The mistake being the the switch of Scobinancistrus to Panaque, as all large Panaque have more than 3-4 dentary and premaxillary teeth.

The same mistake occurs in

Panaque cf_cochliodon`upper_magdalena`

. This section is not included in

Panaque cochliodon

, but could be added.

I personally think that sentence becomes quite useless if it only distinguishes the species from the Scobinancistrus subgenus.

My vote would be to remove that entire sentence.

I think I've cleared this all up.
