Hi Steve,
Thanks for dropping in on the thread...it is only fitting that you should at least do a guest appearance. Congrats on being part of the team that produced an interesting and enjoyable paper.

Hello Julian Grant Dignall. You make a very good point...but I am still of the " Corydoras " school until formality is added to the no doubt needed reorganization of "the genus". Even part of it being formally published (probably the only way to go) will make for very interesting...

Hi Eric, Thanks for coming up with the confirmation on the name of the new Corydoras . The family relationship of Corydoras /Grant grows! There is the recently described C. granti of course (named to honor Steve), and now a species has been named to honor his daughter. And, back in 1998 Steve descri...

Hi all, One more quick note regarding this topic: I am assuming that there are not too many Steven Grant's with an interest in Corydoras out there. So, it should be noted that the second author of the paper is a time to time contributor to PC...under the name The Dark One, I believe. Maybe he can ma...

Hi Jools and all. Jools: Thanks for the head's up on the potential name for this new species. You do usually have your finger on the pulse of such things. A little note re my next to last posting regarding the photograph that was published on the Zootaxa Twitter site: This picture was well used by t...

Hi Eric, Thanks for the follow-up information...an interesting situation with the twitter picture. In the abstract is does say mask "...clearly not fused to arched stripe in most specimens [my emphasis added];...", so it does lead to some confusion. And if one of the authors says it is not...

Hi again Eric, Thanks for filling in some information (CW number) on the new species. I did find a nice photo of the fish (with no species name) on the Zootaxa Twitter site. The pic, which will no doubt be in the paper, can be seen at the link below. https://twitter.com/Zootaxa/status/13726977698743...

Hi Eric and all. Sorry, I don't have the name at hand or I would have added it to the post. It is interesting that some authors will put the name of a new species in the abstract of a paper while others, as in this case, do not. I won't have access to the full paper until later today so I can be of ...

Hi Shane, Nice to hear from you. Hope you are all settled in back in the USA. Yes, there is a mega amount of info in the paper. I will note here also that if you (or anyone else that is interested) go to the Supporting Information section at the bottom of the article there are links to an additional...

Hi Bas Pels and Racoll, Thanks for your inputs on the Netherlands population situation with S. glanis . The distribution patterns of catfishes, especially around the broader population edges (whether natural or human influenced), is an interesting topic. Various known, and theoretical concepts, with...

Hi all. In the text of the paper the native distribution of S. glanis is given as below (based on a referenced paper from 2009). It has, of course, been widely introduced elsewhere: "The species is native from Eastern Europe. Its native distribution extends from Germany eastward through to Pola...

Hi Eric and all.

Hi all. There have been some discussions regarding the species name for this fish (Huh?). So to flesh it out, I below offer up the etymology as noted in the paper. "Etymology.— Acanthobunocephalus scruggsi in named after Earl Scruggs, a prominent American banjo player known for popularizing a t...

Thank you gentlemen for the additions!

Hi Eric,

Thanks for coming up with the species name for this newest species of Corydoras. I have added the name to my original post on the paper.

Lee

Hi Eric,
I have only seen the abstract and it (or the title) is sans the new species name. I have a request out for the paper and can follow up when I hear something.
