Re: ? about A. macmasteri

[Mike & Diane Wise <apistowise@bewellnet.com>]

Kaycy,

I list mine as A. sp. Rotpunkt (Blue-cheek). A. sp. Blue-cheek is OK except it's close to A.
sp. Blue-head - a domestic form of A. caetei - and the mis-translated Blue-throated Apisto
(should be Blood/Cut-throat Apiso) in Linke & Staeck's English translation under A. sp.
Red-wedged Apisto.

To me anything that can make an undescribed fish's name more clearly understood is best for all
concerned.
