Species' name

[edit]

IUCN (2010) and FishBase both list this species as Synodontis serratus. FishBase, in particular, lists S. serrata as a synonym and marks it as a "misspelling of the species' name that must not be used": Synonyms of Synodontis serratus Rüppell, 1829
FishBase itself uses Catalog of Fishes as its main source regarding nomenclature. This is the relevant entry there: Current status: Valid as Synodontis serratus Rüppell, 1829 (updated 19 May 2014) XenoVon (talk) 08:56, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
