Caldasia No. 5

Post by MatsP »

Has anyone got access to the above publication, I'm looking for the description of Rhizosomichthys totae Miles, 1942?

I just want to know what it says about type location, in particular what depth in the lake it occurs. Both CoF and Checklist of Catfishes say 3060 meters, but that's unlikely as the lake is only 60 meters deep. I suspect it is 30-60 meters, and the dash/minus has gone missing somewhere...

Fishbase says it lifes in the deeper part of the lake. So I woulda also say sth. like 40-60 meters

Yes, but I still would like to know what Miles wrote when describing the fish itself.
