The type series comes from one drainage. The geographic pattern I alluded to was a difference in distribution within the same drainage.

Are there any plans to update the names in the Shan'e World articles to keep up with current fish taxonomy (e.g. changing Barbus to Enteromius in the Uganda Diaries)?

The yummy kind.

I concluded that they aren’t the same, and there is a geographic pattern in the difference. Then again, the type series consists of both forms.

HH, I have a related query. How does one treat species that have been registered with ZooBank but were published in predatory journals? Could you please elaborate on this? Thanks. The Code is not meant to be an arbiter of scientific quality. As long as the conditions for availability are met (elect...

Thinking about Glyptothorax pedunculatus , if we are not sure if it is an available name or not, will I move it to a junior synonym of G.ngapang for now? Even if G. pedunculatus is an available name, it is almost certainly a junior synonym of G. fuscus . I said as much in my review of the manuscrip...

I'd read this as this position was unclear? In other words, the description may have been published in a non-electronic format and then you'd need to check that that didn't have the registration details in it. The issue arose in writing the discussion for the description of a new Thai Glyptothorax ...

Thanks Balaji, I will fix it once I have that list. What's the procedure here for these names, can the papers be deposited in ZooBank at a later date then it all gets sorted or are they sunk forever? For descriptions that are published only in digital form, the nomenclatural act must be registered ...

Tricky bastards to work with.

@Silurus, would it be prudent to remove these from the Catelog? I can add, but I cannot subtract. Only Jools can do that. Aqua is not the only offending journal.The original description of Glyptothorax chavomensis was published in an electronic-only journal (apparently...we are still trying to get ...

It's not only the species names that are nomina nuda. The new genus name remains a nomen nudum until published in a Code-compliant way.

Anything named in a dissertation is not an available name, according to the Code. I think it’s poor form for Planet to be propagating nomina nuda.

Cat-eLog didn't like me adding the new species, though.
