Could anyone tell me why I see the label "Aspidoras Albater" in some places, and
the label "Aspidoras cf Albater" in others? What is that "cf" all about?
I must have fallen asleep in Freshman Biology class...

Re: Aspidoras ? Albater
cf.: literally means "confer." An animal appears similar to an identified species, but without certainty or confirmation.
