Etymology of species name in Pseudoplatystoma metaense

Post by lfinley58 »

Hi all.

For the Cat-eLog:

The following is from the original description of Pseudoplatystoma metaense (Pimelodidae):

"Etymology: The specific epithet metaense refers to the type locality, Meta River, a tributary of the Orinoco River in Colombia and Venezuela."

Hi Lee,

Just wondering, would you like access to edit these direct from the catelog page? Might be easier for you?

Cheers,
