Scientific Name Corydoras (lineage 8 sub-clade 3) sodalis  Nijssen & Isbrücker, 1986
Common Name False Network Cory
Type Locality Río Yavari, Cano de Guavariba in Lago Matamata, 4°12'S, 70°17'W, Loreto, Peru.
Pronunciation kor ee doh rass (lineage eight subclade three).
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 literally means companion (sodalis=companion, comrade) and refers to its close resemblance to Corydoras reticulatus.
