Pseudolaguvia or not?

Post by dmcat »

Hi All,
I bought these as Hara horai more than a year ago. But they look like Pseudolaguvia. Finally I did some images (not very sharp unfortunately but hopefully sufficient for identification of the genus at least) and would like to hear opinions on genus (if possible species) identity.
Thank you,
DM

Me thinks maybe
Although; I concede that as Silurus was the scientist who described P muricata as well as other Pseudolaguvia species. You should give predilection to his I.D. :)

Thanks very much for confirmation of the genus and suggestions on species identity! I will try to make better focused images and maybe species will be clearer.

If you do, would be great to add them to the species profile for whatever species we land on with some certainty.

Cheers,
