I remembered something about this which was brought up a while ago and I have found the info which Mike Wise wrote about on the list 14th Sept'99. Sorry Mike! (Mike wrote). I don't want to get into a lengthy discussion here on the generic (genus) name of the Rams. Right now Microgeophagus Axelrod, 1971 is the name accepted by most taxonomists. Mayland & Bork agree with Géry and use Microgeophagus Frey, 1957 in their book. There is a question on whether this name is a "nomen nudem" or not. Römer's new book goes along with Kullander's contention that the name Mikrogeophagus (with a "k") Meulengracht-Madsen, 1968 is the oldest valid name and should be used for the genus. Time (maybe) will tell.<< Helen > Please :What is the correct denomination ? > MiKro... or > MiCro > Many thanks > J.Besson > > Helen Burns a écrit: > > > Microgeophagus or Mikrogeophagus was formally Papiliochromis. > > Helen > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
