 Cat-eLog Data Sheet | |
|---|---|
| Scientific Name | Corydoras (lineage 5) gracilis Nijssen & Isbrücker, 1976 |
| Common Names | Chipmunk Cory Sky Pansermalle (Denmark) |
| Type Locality | Rio Jauna (= River Juma) at Trans-Amazonica highway, about 6°09'S, 59°55'W, tributary of Rio Aripuaña, Amazonas, Brazil (corrected locality). |
| Pronunciation | kor ee doh rass (lineage five). |
| Etymology | Cory = helmet, doras = skin. In this case it was incorrectly used to mean armour (cuirasse) instead of skin in allusion to the dual rows of plates that run along the flanks of this genus. This specific epithet refers to its slender (gracilis=slender, gracile) appearance. |
