Weird Trichomycterid & Woodcat

Post by KungFish »

I found this odd trichomycterid catfish on a peruvian exporter's Facebook page, does anyone know what it is?

Also, is this centromochlus concolor? Or tatia simplex?

Thanks!

The trichomycterid might be Ituglanis ina, but I'm not 100% sure.

Forgot to mention that the simplex is not from them, only the ituglanis.

Thank you.

I would really like to know the exporter of Tatia simplex.

Unfortunately, much as I would also like it to be, the tatia simplex is not from an exporter. It is from a page covering an expedition to the Rio Xingu. :( It's a shame, they would go well with your Centromochlus concolor.

Okay.
I wasn't aware of a namechange.
But knowing or seeing the difference between Centromochlus and/or tatia is way beyond my knowledge.

According to fishbase it is Centromochlus simplex. Huh. PC entry needs to be changed then.

Why? Because Fishbase is more "right"?

Nevermind. I thought it was sponsored my some sort of institution or museum. Ignore the previous post then.

No, so that there are no mistakes, because is of them too much. On the side California Academy of Sciences www.calacademy.org / is also under such a name. http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/r ... ?spid=6218

I thought the Tatia simplex (and, T. musaica) were incertae sedis and so we remained with the more conservative position of them staying put? Have I missed something more recent than this?
