Batasio Spilurus
''Batasio'' is a genus of catfish of the family Bagridae. These small fish are found in fast-flowing hillstreams throughout South and mainland Southeast Asia. Taxonomy ''Batasio'' was first described by Edward Blyth in 1860 with ''Batasio buchanani'' (a needless renaming of ''Batasio batasio'') designated as type. ''B. pakistanicus'', described in 1989, is tentatively placed in ''Batasio'', but its generic placement is questionable. Species There are currently 17 recognized species in this genus: * ''Batasio affinis'' Blyth, 1860 * ''Batasio batasio'' ( F. Hamilton, 1822) * ''Batasio convexirostrum'' Darshan, Anganthoibi & Vishwanath, 2011 * ''Batasio dayi'' ( Vinciguerra, 1890) * ''Batasio elongatus'' H. H. Ng, 2004 * ''Batasio fasciolatus'' H. H. Ng, 2006 * ''Batasio feruminatus'' H. H. Ng & Kottelat, 2008 * ''Batasio flavus'' Plamoottil, 2015 * ''Batasio fluviatilis'' ( F. Day, 1888) * ''Batasio macronotus'' H. H. Ng & Edds, 2004 * ''Batasio merianiensis'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Edward Blyth
Edward Blyth (23 December 1810 – 27 December 1873) was an English zoologist who worked for most of his life in India as a curator of zoology at the museum of the Asiatic Society of India in Calcutta. Blyth was born in London in 1810. In 1841 he travelled to India to become the curator of the museum of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal. He set about updating the museum's catalogues, publishing a ''Catalogue of the Birds of the Asiatic Society'' in 1849. He was prevented from doing much fieldwork himself, but received and described bird specimens from A.O. Hume, Samuel Tickell, Robert Swinhoe and others. He remained as curator until 1862, when ill-health forced his return to England. His ''Natural History of the Cranes'' was published posthumously in 1881. Avian species bearing his name include Blyth's hornbill, Blyth's leaf warbler, Blyth's hawk-eagle, Blyth's olive bulbul, Blyth's parakeet, Blyth's frogmouth, Blyth's reed warbler, Blyth's rosefinch, Blyth's shrike-babbl ...
