Wrong preview picture in clog tag

[sunfish, posts: 280]

I just used a clog to Ancistrus multispinis. The link works correctly, but the preview picture shows Peckoltia multispinis (the caption reads Ancistrus multispinis).

Thanks Tina, good spot, this is because Peckoltia multispinis has a junior synonym of Ancistrus multispinis as well as there being a species entry for Ancistrus multispinis in its own right. Does anyone have any view on why that is? I will look into it if not...

Hi Jools,

this in fact appears to be correct.

Holly described an "Ancistrus" multispinis, which was identified as a Peckoltia species by Armbruster in his revision. This Peckoltia multispinis was described from a market in Belem, so it is not clear beyond doubt which of the Peckoltia forms we know from that area is in fact P. multispinis.
Even before Holly´s description, Regan described an Ancistrus multispinis (1912), which indeed is an Ancistrus, from the eastern coast of Brazil.
So we have a Peckoltia multispinis with Ancistrus multispinis as a junior synonym, and an Ancistrus multispinis, both as currently valid species.

Hope that helps and
Cheers,
Sandor

It does make sense Sandor, in fact I think there is a post on it somewhere now that I think about it. So, the issue is not a data issue as I first thought but a real bug in the sense that Planet displays the picture belonging to the species with the matching synonym with priority over a valid species.

Mats is looking into this.

Mats has fixed this. Can you confirm this is now OK? Looks OK to me.

I'm happy this is resolved.
