Re: Imparfinnis sp(1) ID..
Of course, you may not agree, in which case that's OK.The Dark one wrote:The heptapterid ichthyologist Flavio Bockmann has just come back to me. He confirms that it matches Imparfinis pseudonemacheir, but that species will probably be synonymised with Imparfinis stictonotus in the near future. So the fish in these images are Imparfinis stictonotus (which may end up back in Nannorhamdia!).

I see you renamed sp(1), but it is now listed as Heptapterus pseudonemacheir, not Imparfinis pseudonemacheir - is this correct?

No, had a lot of problems with uploads / admin work yesterday and this was one of the casualties it's fixed now.

Re: Imparfinnis sp(1) ID..
Just noticed you now have an image of a preserved I. stictonotus in the catelog. As advised above, I. pseudonemacheir will probably end up a synonym of stictonotus, and sp 1 which was renamed as pseudonemacheir does seem to match stictonotus also.

Re: Imparfinnis sp(1) ID..
Current status in Catalog of Fishes is that I. pseudonemacheir is still valid, as is I. stictonotus.
I'm not saying you're wrong - they look very similar.
Is there a paper that is published that puts these into synonymy?

No, it hasn't been published yet so I'm not suggesting merging the 2, just making comment for future reallyMatsP wrote:Current status in Catalog of Fishes is that I. pseudonemacheir is still valid, as is I. stictonotus.
