Species' name

[edit]

IUCN (2010) and FishBase both list this species as Synodontis contractus. FishBase, in particular, lists S. contracta as a synonym and marks it as a "misspelling of the species' name that must not be used": Synonyms of Synodontis contractus Vinciguerra 1928
FishBase itself uses Catalog of Fishes as its source regarding nomenclature. This is the relevant entry there: Current status: Valid as Synodontis contractus Vinciguerra 1928 (updated 19 May 2014) XenoVon (talk) 12:29, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
