Article appears to be inconsistent. The first line states that the fish is native to South Africa, yet later it states that the species are endemic to Brazil. Marq au (talk) 22:35, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Author citation

FishBase, referenced in this article, does not use initials in author citations for any of the species in this genus (Scientific Names where Genus Equals Eurycheilichthys); 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 Eurycheilichthys).
From the WP article on author citation:

"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".
