Species' name

[edit]

IUCN (2010) and FishBase both list this species as Synodontis filamentosus. FishBase, in particular, lists S. filamentosa as a synonym and marks it as a "misspelling of the species' name that must not be used": Synonyms of Synodontis filamentosus Boulenger, 1901
FishBase itself uses Catalog of Fishes as its main source regarding nomenclature. This is the relevant entry there: Current status: Valid as Synodontis filamentosus Boulenger, 1901 (updated 19 May 2014) XenoVon (talk) 17:58, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
