Mikrogeophagus altispinosus (Haseman, 1911)
15-12月-2011 — Mikrogeophagus exposed as the correct generic name for the Venezuelan ram
创建者 Juan Miguel Artigas Azas
A new paper authored by Sven Kullander, dealing with the disscussion about the correct generic assignation for Mikrogeophagus ramirezi, the Venezuelan ram, is published today in Zootaxa. This taxonomically difficult cichlid has been for decades the center of a discussion about what is the correct generic name applicable (Mikrogeophagus, Papiliochromis, Microgeophagus, Pseudogeophagus, Pseudoapistogramma). Reasons of why Mikrogeophagus Meulengracht-Madsen 1968 should be applied to this fish are given.
