Species' name edit

IUCN and FishBase both list this species as Synodontis caudovittatus. FishBase, in particular, lists S. caudovittata as a synonym and marks it as a "misspelling of the species' name that must not be used": Synonyms of Synodontis caudovittatus Boulenger, 1901
FishBase itself uses Catalog of Fishes as its source regarding nomenclature. This is the relevant entry there: Current status: Valid as Synodontis caudovittatus Boulenger, 1901 (updated 19 May 2014) XenoVon (talk) 10:29, 7 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
