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.
