Species' name[edit]

All sources referenced in this article list this species as Synodontis decorus. FishBase, in particular, lists S. decora as a synonym and marks it as a "misspelling of the species' name that must not be used": Synonyms of Synodontis decorus Boulenger, 1899
FishBase itself uses Catalog of Fishes as its main source regarding nomenclature. This is the relevant entry there: Current status: Valid as Synodontis decorus Boulenger, 1899 (updated 19 May 2014) XenoVon (talk) 13:12, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
