Hello catfish freaks,

In the new issue of DATZ (8/2015) there are two new L-numbers.

Daniel Konn-Vetterlein "Noch einmal: L-Nummern aus dem Rio Nhamundá" (“Again, L-numbers from Rio Nhamundá”)

In this article we can read about two Peckoltia, which we know as Peckoltia sp. “Rio Nhamunda”. Nobody before distinguished both forms. The form which is similar to Peckoltia vittata and Peckoltia sp. “L209” get the L-number L477 (Peckoltia sp. “L477”). The second form, which is distinguished in the pattern on head and the shape of body, get the “L478” (Peckoltia sp. “L478”). During the last time a great number of Peckoltia sp. “L477” was imported. On the other side only few Peckoltia sp. “L478” came to Europe.

Frank Schäfer "Kaktuswels beschrieben" (“Pseudacanthicus described”)

Frank Schäfer writes about the description from Pseudacanthicus pitanga, before L24. The author gives a short overview about the genus Pseudacanthicus. He sees a connection between Pseudacanthicus pitanga (L24) and Pseudacanthicus sp. "L25", because their habitats are temporarily connected.

Enjoy reading of DATZ.
