Table 3 in Revised taxonomy of Synodontis catfishes (Siluriformes: Mochokidae) from the Lake Tanganyika basin reveals lower species diversity than expected

Table 3. Revised taxonomy of Synodontis species from the Lake Tanganyika basin, supported by combined genetic and morphological data. The presence of S. afrofischeri and S. victoriae in the Malagarasi River drainage is confirmed in comparison to type and non-type material from Lake Victoria. Abbreviations: COI, cytochrome c oxidase I; ddRADseq, double digest restriction-site associated DNA sequencing; N/A, not available.
