Eponymy: C R Seeber (fl.1900–fl.1940) was a South African policeman and angler. He was Chief Constable at Clanwilliam, Western Cape, South Africa. He sent fishes to Gilchrist (1906), including the types of these species. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
More on authors: Gilchrist & Thompson.
Issue
Often identified as Barbus capensis, but the correct name for the southern African clanwilliam yellowfish is Labeobarbus seeberi; re-examination of the holotype of Barbus capensis revealed it to be a senior synonym of Pseudobarbus andrewi (Ref. 108777).
