Common name Ageneiosus marmoratus

Post by Marc van Arc »

I don't know who invented it, but imo the common name for A. marmoratus (= Jaguar catfish) is A) absolutely inappropriate and B) of course already in use for Liosomadoras oncinus.

This will cause unwanted and unnecessary confusion.

It's from the OATA standard common name for this species. Probably a bad translation from the Chinese which would be better written as Jaguar Dolphin Catfish. I agree it's not a good addition to the site and is confusing. I will change it.
