It's a great name but might be confused with catfish of the genus
. Brazilian underworld catfish?

Ahh yes, sneaky that...you could have Brazilian, Indian and even African Underworld Cats, as they all have catfish that live in aquifers.
Not that the name would get much comercial use.

Indeed, but common names are unpredictable things. Once they leave your keyboard anything can happen!
