Hanssens, M & Snoeks, J. 2001. ‘A revised synonymy of Telmatochromis temporalis (Teleostei, Cichlidae) from Lake Tanganyika (East Africa)’.
Article dans une revue scientifique / Article dans un périodique
The taxonomic status of the nominal species Telmatochromis temporalis, T. lestradei, T. burgeoni and Julidochromis macrolepis has been reviewed. The synonymy of T. lestradei with T. temporalis is confirmed. A comparison of Telmatochromis burgeoni with Telmatochromis temporalis revealed no significant differences either. Hence T. burgeoni is considered synonymous with T. temporalis. Examination of the type of Julidochromis macrolepis showed it to be conspecific with Telmatochromis dhonti and not with T. temporalis, as had been suggested.
KEY WORDS: Telmatochromis; Lake Tanganyika; cichlids; synonymy; taxonomy.
