Desmopuntius Gemellus
''Desmopuntius'' is a genus of small freshwater Cyprinidae, cyprinids native to Southeast Asia. They were formerly included in ''Puntius''. Etymology The name ''Desmopuntius'' is derived from the Greek language δεσμψτης ("desmotes") meaning 'prisoner' and genus name "''Puntius''", a reference to the striped outfits commonly attributed to prison wear. Species According to FishBase, there are currently seven recognized species in this genus. Another species recognized as ''Systomus endecanalis'' by FishBase is placed in the genus ''Desmopuntius'' by Catalog of Fishes, following a Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic review by Maurice Kottelat in 2013.Kottelat, M.

Six-banded Tiger Barb
The six-banded tiger barb (''Desmopuntius hexazona'') is a Southeast Asian species of cyprinid fish native to Blackwater river, blackwater streams, peat swamps and other freshwater habitats with little movement in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo.Maurice Kottelat, Kottelat, M.

Although there are reports from the Mekong basin, this is generally consider to be outside the range of the genus ''Desmopuntius''. ''D. hexazona'' has often been confused—especially in the aquarium trade—with the less widespread, closely related ''Fiveband barb, D. pentazona'', which is similar except that it has a black spot at the rear base of its dorsal fin (something that ''D. hexazona'' lacks).Collins, R.; K.F ...

Max Carl Wilhelm Weber
Max Carl Wilhelm Weber van Bosse or Max Wilhelm Carl Weber (5 December 1852 – 7 February 1937) was a German- Dutch zoologist and biogeographer. Weber studied at the University of Bonn, then at the Humboldt University in Berlin with the zoologist Eduard Carl von Martens (1831–1904). He obtained his doctorate in 1877. Weber taught at the University of Utrecht then participated in an expedition to the Barents Sea. He became Professor of Zoology, Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Amsterdam in 1883. In the same year he received naturalised Dutch citizenship. His discoveries as leader of the Siboga Expedition led him to conclude that Wallace's Line was placed too far to the west. His studies, along with others, led to a series of alternative lines to be proposed to delimit two major biogeographic realms, the Australasian realm and the Indomalayan realm. These lines were based on the fauna and flora in general, including the mammalian fauna. Later, Pelseneer p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
