DiagnosisUnfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 504 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. 
CommentSubspecies: The species status of antonii is contested. Dahn et al. 2018 don’t even mention it. See also Rhinocheilus lecontei.
