| Scientific Name: | Rhizosomichthys totae |
| Species Authority: | (Miles, 1942) |
| Taxonomic Notes: | No entry for this species in Eschmeyer 91998). The only entry for totae in Eschmeyer is Pygidium totae valid as Trichomycterus totae both from the same family, Trichomycteridae, as Rhizosomichthys. FishBase records R. totae as a synonym of T. totae based on Burgess (1989). Stiassny and Harrison (1999) indicate that this may just be a "fat form of Trichomycterus". |
