New fish in a bit..

Man, that was a flawless victory! Wow!

i) Cross gaulish god is peaceful?
ii) My nearest city shares its name with a mythical river of the western US.

Who am I?

Wow that was quick!

iii) A common name for my family suggests bumbling pollination.
iv) In the year I was described, a reigning monarch reached the North Pole, the World Cup was held in Germany and a famous Australian was killed by a fish.

Through some detective work, I have to guess it's , but I did not get where the gaulish god comes in.

Your turn Milton

I am easily confused with a previous riddle answer.

The same author who described the previous riddle answer described me as well. He had specimens of me when he described the previous riddle, but didn't know it.

Hopefully that doesn't give it away, haha.

I think your hopes have been fulfilled ;)

Haha, let's see if this clue makes it clearer.

One of the two species was named for its eyes, the other was named for its teeth.

Well I'm not going to be the blame for killing this game, so I'm gonna give a clue that should narrow it down a lot.

-----

Both fish are dark with light spots.

Confused even more, thought it was a pimelodus or -della. Pimelodus cf. blochii

But not dark with light spots, I'll keep looking...

Since the fish is described that should eliminate things like cf. and such.

Since the fish is described that should eliminate things like cf. and such.

It was the only one I could find with searching for teeth (odont etc + Ortega-Lara), the PC search won't give me the full Ortega-Lara, tried them separately but no teeth reached out and bit me. Pimelodus cf. blochii is a pretty nice fish though, http://silurus.acnatsci.org/ACSI/images ... lodus.html

So I've started with Lehmann and teeth
Then I got stuck here..
http://silurus.acnatsci.org/ACSI/field/ ... eople.html

My hunting skills suck tonight, time for bed.

Oh jeez, I'm sorry for killing this. If we would like to continue with the last fish I had chosen, let me sum it up again:

"I am easily confused with a previous riddle answer.

New clues:

The previous riddle answer was the one named for the eyes (but its name doesn't include the word eye in any language). That means this riddle answer was named for its teeth.

That's it all right. Now we can get on with this game, haha.

I can't quickly find the list of species that have been done but here is one.

I'm a northerner I am. Armour plated and don't like gravel!

Me? LOL

Last time I looked Birger, you didn't have fins. Gills maybe, but no fins.
