Species' name

IUCN (2010) and FishBase both list this species as Synodontis flavitaeniatus. FishBase, in particular, lists S. flavitaeniata as a synonym and marks it as a "misspelling of the species' name that must not be used": Synonyms of Synodontis flavitaeniatus Boulenger, 1919
FishBase itself uses Catalog of Fishes as its main source regarding nomenclature. This is the relevant entry there: Current status: Valid as Synodontis flavitaeniatus Boulenger, 1919 (updated 19 May 2014) XenoVon (talk) 18:10, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
