Species' name

edit

IUCN (2007) and FishBase both list this species as Synodontis leopardinus. FishBase, in particular, lists S. leopardina as a synonym and marks it as a "misspelling of the species' name that must not be used": Synonyms of Synodontis leopardinus Pellegrin, 1914
FishBase itself uses Catalog of Fishes as its main source regarding nomenclature. This is the relevant entry there: Current status: Valid as Synodontis leopardinus Pellegrin, 1914 (updated 19 May 2014) XenoVon (talk) 10:12, 8 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
