I'm quite convinced that my group of
are in fact
.
They have long anal fin, pointed humerall process and branced maxillary barbels, doesn't fit with batensoda.
There might be misidentification at Cat-eLog as well. What do you think guys?

Those maxillary barbels are a definite giveaway, I think you are quite correct in your ID.
If you do not have the original description let me know, I will send it.It has a good drawing.
These pictures belong in the Cat-eLog if you are willing?

Went and had a look at our's and compared them with the figure in Boulenger, and it's a snap for them as well...

It would seem that none of Jippo's or Junttis'b images are in the Cat-eLog in either of the B. batensoda or S. resupinata... So we would be very grateful for an e-mail or two with some or all (or more) of the pictures in this thread....
