The size of 80 CM TL for appears to have been taken from Fishbase which in turn takes it from Peces del Catatumbo. IMO this is a misprint in that publication. I think they meant 8cm TL. An 80cm Batrochoglanis is very unlikely IMO and this species is very rare and only known from a few specimens. The largest type is about 11cm SL: http://acsi.acnatsci.org/base/getthumbn ... get=132532

Also, IMO is based on pattern and morphology

I've updated to 80mm instead of 800. Not sure if you mean that it should really be 110mm?

I will merge the two species when I get time.

The size should be 110mm. WRT merging I would wait and see if anyone disagrees first as I am not 100% certain.

Thanks

Ok, will update again.

And I've got some other species merge/update operations to do, so I'll keep this one at the back of the list for a bit.
