Your distribution is misleading. The Type location is "... near west coast of Lake Tanganyika" - it doens't imply that the fish is actually available IN L. Tanganyika.
Not of any use for Planet Catfish: The information that we would use is wrong.

And in both your objections, you have clearly not even understood what my objection is. Can I make it clear that the objection is that the distribution you have given is incorrect and misleading. In the other post is also equally troubled in the distribution field.
I have not said anything about the synonyms.
