Batrochoglanis acanthochiroides

[The.Dark.One]

The size of 80 CM TL for

Batrochoglanis acanthochiroides

appears to have been taken from Fishbase which in turn takes it from Peces del Catatumbo. IMO this is a misprint in that publication. I think they meant 8cm TL. An 80cm Batrochoglanis is very unlikely IMO and this species is very rare and only known from a few specimens. The largest type is about 11cm SL: http://acsi.acnatsci.org/base/getthumbn ... get=132532

Also, IMO

Batrochoglanis sp(1)

is

Batrochoglanis acanthochiroides

based on pattern and morphology

I've updated to 80mm instead of 800. Not sure if you mean that it should really be 110mm?

I will merge the two species when I get time.

The size should be 110mm. WRT merging I would wait and see if anyone disagrees first as I am not 100% certain.

Thanks

Ok, will update again.

And I've got some other species merge/update operations to do, so I'll keep this one at the back of the list for a bit.
