Species' name[edit]

IUCN (2010) and FishBase both list this species as Synodontis guttatus. FishBase, in particular, lists S. guttata as a synonym and marks it as a "misspelling of the species' name that must not be used": Synonyms of Synodontis guttatus Günther, 1865
FishBase itself uses Catalog of Fishes as its main source regarding nomenclature. This is the relevant entry there: Current status: Valid as Synodontis guttatus Günther, 1865 (updated 19 May 2014) XenoVon (talk) 09:50, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
