Rineloricaria Quilombola
''Rineloricaria'' (from the Greek, ''rhinos'' meaning ''nose'', and the Latin, ''lorica'' meaning ''cuirass of leather'') is a genus of freshwater tropical catfish (order Siluriformes) belonging to the family Loricariidae. They are commonly called whiptail catfish because of the long filament that grows out of the tip of the caudal fin that is characteristic of the genus. With the exception of '' R. altipinnis'' from Panama, they are native to the rivers of northern and central South America. Some species are regularly seen in the aquarium trade. Taxonomy This genus was described by Pieter Bleeker in 1862, with ''R. lima'' as the type species. This genus is by far one of the most speciose of the subfamily Loricariinae, containing approx 60 species. On the other hand, it is one of the least resolved genera. In 2008, 14 new species were added to this genus. ''Hemiloricaria'', '' Fonchiiichthys'', and ''Leliella'' been variably considered synonyms of ''Rineloricaria''; these genera ...

Synonym (taxonomy)
In taxonomy, the scientific classification of living organisms, a synonym is an alternative scientific name for the accepted scientific name of a taxon. The Botanical nomenclature, botanical and Zoological nomenclature, zoological codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently. * In nomenclature, botanical nomenclature, a synonym is a Binomial nomenclature, scientific name that applies to a taxon that now goes by a different scientific name. For example, Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus was the first to give a scientific name (under the currently used system of scientific nomenclature) to the Norway spruce, which he called ''Pinus abies''. This name is no longer in use, so it is now a synonym of the current scientific name, ''Picea abies''. * In zoology, moving a species from one genus to another results in a different Binomial nomenclature, binomen, but the name is considered an alternative combination rather than a synonym. The concept of synonymy in zoology is reserved f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mónica Sonia Rodriguez
Monica is a female given name with many variant forms, including Mónica (Italian, Spanish and Portuguese), Mônica (Brazilian Portuguese), Monique (French), Monika (German, Indian, Lithuanian), Moonika (Estonia), and Mónika (Hungarian). History The etymology of ''Monica'' is unknown. Its earliest attestation known today is as the name of Saint Monica, mother of Saint Augustine. St. Monica was born in Numidia in North Africa, but was also a citizen of Carthage, hence the name may be of Punic or Berber origin. It has also been associated with the Greek word ''monos'', meaning "alone". Though etymologically unrelated, "Monica" was also a name in Latin, deriving from the verb ''monere'', meaning "to advise". One of the early occurrences of the name in modern literature is the character Monica Thorne in the 1858 novel ''Doctor Thorne'' by Anthony Trollope.
