Author citation
editFishBase, used as a reference in this article, does not use initials in author citations for any of the species in this genus (Scientific Names where Genus Equals Paradoxoglanis); neither does Catalog of Fishes, another major fish database which FishBase itself very often uses as a reference regarding taxonomy & nomenclature (Species in the genus Paradoxoglanis).
The WP article on author citation states that:
- "If the same surname is common to more than one author, initials are sometimes given" but "not all animal groups / databases use this convention" and " it should be noted that in the examples given in the Code and also the ICZN Official Lists and Indexes, initials are not used".
