 Cat-eLog Data Sheet | |
|---|---|
| Scientific Name | Corydoras (lineage 8 sub-clade 2) costai Ottoni, Barbosa & Katz, 2016 |
| Common Name | |
| Type Locality | Swamp on BR-030, 3 km east from Guanambi, Município de Guanambi, Estado da Bahia, Brazil, 14°11'08''S, 42°44'20''W, elevation 522 meters. |
| Pronunciation | kor ee doh rass (lineage eight subclade two). |
| Etymology | Cory = helmet, doras = skin. In this case it was incorrectly used to mean armour (cuirasse) instead of skin in allusion to the dual rows of plates that run along the flanks of this genus. |
| Species Information | |
| General Remarks | There is some concern that Corydoras costai may not be a valid species, but may have been identified and characterized using a collection of slightly atypical individuals of Corydoras garbei (for holotype) and C. garbei mixed with Corydoras difluviatilis (for paratypes) to define C. costai. Eventually, C. costai may be reassigned as a synonym of C. garbei, but for now it is considered a valid species. |
