Erratum in Halichoeres wrasse article 9/18/09
Dear Bob, <Alex> I was searching for something on WWM and in the course
of my research I have found that there seems to be a small error on your
Halichoeres wrasse page (N-Z): The photograph captioned with
"Halichoeres trispilus" seems to be a H. leucoxanthus (nomen est omen
--> white-yellow) commonly called Whitebelly wrasse
(http://fishbase.org/Photos/ThumbnailsSummary.php?ID=7806 or
http://fishbase.org/summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=7806). H. trispilus is
more whitish, even though it has the same three dots (nomen est omen,
again ;-)... Cheers, Alex <I do agree with you:
http://fishbase.org/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=7806&genusname=Halichoeres&speciesname=leucoxanthus
Will append. Stipendium peccati mors est. BobF>
Re: Erratum in Halichoeres wrasse article 9/18/09
I hope not... But the question remains what the ones get, that do not
sin ;-) Cheers, Alex <A quandary/paradox for sure... For me, I'll take
the Viking "heaven" please. Cheers, BobF>
