new catfish (corydoryne) names July 2024
from a recent paper
(I will find the title and authors soon in an edit)

I'll start with the most well known species first
(ending with , or skipping, species names I've never heard of)
starting with the new genus name
(some of which I've never heard in 55 years of fish keeping)

... I skipped about 12 I've never heard of...
(the names ending in '-um' instead of '-us'
is because of the grammar in the either greek or latin of the genus name... same familiar species)

still in (YEAH!)
> Corydoras
treitlii
cervinus
narcissus
serratus
geoffroy
simulatus
pastzensis
semiaquilus
... I skipped about 7 I've never heard of...

> Aspidoras
about 8 on the list
none of which I've ever heard of ...
will need further investigation by me ...
I know of pauciradiatus (moved to 'Gastrodermus'... see below) and maybe 3 others,
never heard of the ones listed...
possible they changed species names also (but that's unusual)

the giant cool water ones
> Scleromystax
barbatus
macropterus
prionotus
lacerdai
and 1 other with a number
(these names haven't changed)

> Gastrodermus
elegans
nijsseni
napoensis
gracilis
pauciradiatus
pygmaeus
hastatus
... and 2 with numbers

> Osteogaster
aeneus
rabauti
zygatus

+ 7 that have only numbers

... I have a feeling they missed 1 or 2 hundred
but
better than I ever did
