Welcome to PC btw and let's have those pictures!

I keyed it out in the Ferraris and Vari revision as Auchenipterus brachyurus.

If you don't mind me asking: which keys did you use to come to that conclusion (or: where did you look at specifically)?

I already compared it with a specimen of Auchenipterus brachyurus, but it is not, there is remarkable differences.

Marc, I do not have information of Auchenipterus ambyiacus!

excuse my bad English

That's odd. Usually HH is very, very good in ID-ing. Are you sure that your reference (brachyurus) is the genuine species?

If you send me your email address, I'll send you the PDF of the article HH refers to (the Ferraris & Vari Auchenipterus Revision), which I got through him btw.
