remarks:
The recently published ‘Checklist of Catfishes’ (Ferraris 2007) shows a considerable amount of differences to the siluriform taxa listed by López et al. (2003). These differences have been clustered and listed here in eight categories. The present list intents to draw attention on these differences and perhaps encourage further studies. The content of the list presented here will not be considered in future updates provided at PecesCriollos, as those should always be based on primary literature. Albeit some might appear at PecesCriollos as separate entries in the future.
Many first records of catfish taxa for Argentina, specially those published by early authors, might have been misidentifications. Catfishes listed for Argentina by López but not by Ferraris are not considered herein, as further studies have to proof their absence from argentinean waters or their identity with other taxa. These cases might be difficult to resolve until the specimens originally referred to, if available at all, are investigated.
Also, the following cases have not been considered for the present comparing list:
1. species listed as ‘especie limítrofe’ by López et al.
2. taxa listed as questionable synonyms by Ferraris
3. changes reported on already at PecesCriollos earlier
