Re: Parauchenoglanis balayi and monkei
I think we have been through this before...checklist of Catfishes(2007) still has P.monkei as valid as does fishbase...I can not remember off hand why though.According the Revision of Parauchenoglanis P. monkei is synonym for P. guttatus.

Re: Parauchenoglanis balayi and monkei
I do not see it being P.altipinnis...for me it seems P.altipinnis is one of the easier to ID...mind you the pic you mention does have sort of a high dorsal but not overly high.At Cat-eLog photo #3 of Parauchenoglanis balayi looks more P. altipinnis.

Re: Parauchenoglanis balayi and monkei
Catalog of fishes still have monkei separate from balayi. CoF is usually quite quick at updating things - but it could of course be a "missed that one".
I'm moving this to resolved, as I don't believe there is anything that needs to be done here.
