Hypostomus faveolus

i was looking to see the map on where they are found and it shows they are a marine species found off the coast of Yemen. Just an FYI to be updated?

Thanks for spotting that. I will try to figure out what's wrong. It seems like it's got the north/south and east/west swapped around (so it's 14 degrees north, 51 degrees east, rather than 14 degrees SOUTH and 51 degrees WEST).

Actually, I just tried it right now on my local copy of Planet Catfish (which has about 16 species of fish in it's Cat-eLog), and it works fine there. Not sure what's wrong. I'll resubmit the data in the datasheet, and see if that fixes it...

thanks Mats,

No, I can definitely see that it's got the "wrong" location in the real Cat-eLog - the east vs. west and north vs. south are positive vs. negative numbers.

It is possible that there's something wrong in the code that deals with "read the numbers in the type locality" (I struggled quite a bit with getting it right, because there are many forms of location indication, e.g. -14.381231° or 14°13.6'W or 14°13'27.6''W - and several others. If that's not enough, we also have to deal the fact that there are two or three different ways to say "degree-sign", depending on what computer it is, etc.

I've updated the entry. Fixed?

Certainly looks much better (and I can see in the "updated" mail that the values are right!). I have no idea where it went wrong...
