Issue
Common name according to Kenney (1985). In Axelrod et al. (1977:494) there is a reference to the range of distribution of this species to the Peruvian Amazon, near Iquitos with the common name Peruvian mottled catfish. However, the photograph shown on the page resembles B. raninus, a species mentioned by Mees (1974) from the Peruvian Amazon.
