Species' name

edit

IUCN (2010) and FishBase both list this species as Synodontis frontosus. FishBase, in particular, lists S. frontosa as a synonym and marks it as a "misspelling of the species' name that must not be used": Synonyms of Synodontis frontosus Vaillant, 1895
FishBase itself uses Catalog of Fishes as its main source regarding nomenclature. This is the relevant entry there: Current status: Valid as Synodontis frontosus Vaillant, 1895 (updated 19 May 2014) XenoVon (talk) 09:27, 8 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
