HI !

Does anyone know if these species (linkei,resticulosa,urteagai) possibly may have been described twice ??
I know this has happened before in the "fish hobby" history.. , by accident...

Technically, no, none of these species have junior synonyms. In 1969 Lüling erroneously identified apisto specimens as "A. amoenus Cope 1872", which Koslowski recognized as being part of his new species, A. linkei. These he included as paratypes. Kullander did not use specimens of previously identified species in his descriptions of either A. resticulosa and A. urteagai.
