Abstract

The purpose of this appUcation is to conserve the specific name of Rivulus marmoratus Poey, 1880 for a self-fertiHsing hermaphroditic kilhfish. The name is threatened by the senior subjective synonym ocellatus Hensel, 1868. Through misidentification the latter name has been used for a second species, which is correctly named cawi/owflrgmato Seegers, 1984. ■■S-.^y'l-'^-ryi.., . '
