>>>Any suggestions?
Is it too soon to suggest adding location codes like the
killie folks do. It's possible they are different species. AZnd it's
sounds equally plausable they are geographic variations of the same
species. Since Mike's fish was collected by Julio, he should be in a
possition to assign a collection code, which would differentiate it from the
other specimin without infering too much into the relationship.
For example, I know some S.A. killie collectors use a country
code in their naming, such as Autrolebias sp. CXCL004, as explained by Thomas
Litz, _URUGUAY 1994: Not Only for Cynolebias _,
AguaTropica2, Voulume 1, Number 4. 1995 (maybe 1996).
"The collection code the Uruguayan friends use, puts the first
letters as the international code for Uruguay (CX), followed by the next letters
which denote the State (here Cerro Lago, CL). The further code defines the
membership in the Egg Laying Tooth Carp (0) and the sequence (01, 02.) the new
kinds discovered in this district, which could be related to the described
species. Since we work together as part of the AG Cynolebias, we have also for
the newly caught and/or unknown kinds utilized this code. We hope to avoid the
inscrutable confusion which is found in reference to the labels which are used
in Africa "
