Asian catfish placements...

[MatsP]

We have a script that runs every week, and updates the subfamily for different species. It also reports inconsistencies between our data and the Fishbase/CoF data it references. So one day I went through to check the reports. This is a selection that I think we should look at:

Rama chandramara should be Chandramara chandramara, I think.

Hara hara

and

Erethistoides sicula

,

Erethistes pusillus

:
Family of genus (sisoridae) and CoF family (Erethistidae) mismatch


Name not matching for CoF data:
We have:

Leiocassis poeciloptera

CoF: Leiocassis poecilopterus
Apparently renamed by Kottelat in http://rmbr.nus.edu.sg/rbz/biblio/s27/rbz_S27.pdf (2013)

Can I have some guidance from someone that knows/understands the nomenclature and placement of these...

Also:

Family of genus (bagridae) and CoF family (Olyridae) mismatch.

Olyra longicaudata

Family of genus (siluridae) and CoF family (Kryptoglanidae) mismatch.

Kryptoglanis shajii

Rama chandramara should be Chandramara chandramara, I think.

Rama and Chandramara are the same thing. Rama is the older name (I have been guilty of treating Chandramara as valid and contributing to the confusion).

Hara hara

and

Erethistoides sicula

,

Erethistes pusillus

:
Family of genus (sisoridae) and CoF family (Erethistidae) mismatch

PC is correct.

Name not matching for CoF data:
We have:

Leiocassis poeciloptera

CoF: Leiocassis poecilopterus
Apparently renamed by Kottelat in http://rmbr.nus.edu.sg/rbz/biblio/s27/rbz_S27.pdf (2013)

PC is correct

[Silurus]

Family of genus (bagridae) and CoF family (Olyridae) mismatch.

Olyra longicaudata

PC is correct

Family of genus (siluridae) and CoF family (Kryptoglanidae) mismatch.

Kryptoglanis shajii

CoF is correct

Thanks, HH.

The one fix is done.

I suppose I need to tell Bill Eschmeyer that he's wrong... ;)

I think this is now done. Can I move to resolved?
