Brachyrhamdia=Rhamdia?

Post by Silurus »

I have seen Brachyrhamdia species often placed in Pimelodella, but Rhamdia?

Rhamdia?

I just received a copy of the redescription. Zarske states: But the placement (into Rhamdia, add.) is temporary because of the obsolete state of generic taxonomy in the Pimelodidae.
