Talk:Otothyropsis

Author citation
FishBase, referenced in this article, does not use initials in author citations for any of the species in this genus (Scientific Names where Genus Equals Otothyropsis); neither does Catalog of Fishes, another major fish database which FishBase itself very often uses as a reference regarding taxonomy & nomenclature (Genus Otothyropsis, Species in the genus Otothyropsis). From the WP article on author citation:
 * "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".
