Author citation[edit]
FishBase, used as a reference in this article, does not use initials in author citations for any of the species in this genus (Species in the family Trichomycteridae); neither does Catalog of Fishes , which FishBase itself uses as a reference regarding nomenclature (Species in the genus Trichomycterus).
The WP article on author citation states that:
- "If the same surname is common to more than one author, initials are sometimes given" but "not all animal groups / databases use this convention" and " it should be noted that in the examples given in the Code and also the ICZN Official Lists and Indexes, initials are not used".
