Rivulins of the Old World

[GaryE]

Does anyone here have a copy of Scheel's 1968 killifish classic Rivulins of the Old World? If so, could you take a photo of page 197 (Epiplatys josianae) and share it with me? Thanks in advance.

Images on p. 197 are identified as E. fasciolatus. Is that a synonym?

 

[GaryE]

Thank you for that. It's very much appreciated.

It's now Epiplatys josianae, although some consider that a sub species of fasciolatus. I read of one of the best photos being in the old Scheel book, but I loaned mine to someone a while back and have never seen it again. I figured someone here had to have that book.

@Innesfan, somehow I knew you where going to pop something...

I loaned mine to someone a while back and have never seen it again.

I consider that a capital offense.

I place Apple location tags in my important books on loan.

I should have pinned one on the butt of the guy I loaned it to. Lost a good Betta book there too. Such is life.

I learned the hard way too.

Loaning is the most polite way to get ripped off...

When I realized that adults where the same with tools, than kids with toys...

I've loaned a lot of stuff I don't want back in exchange.

I just noticed that the same two fish are pictured on p. 218 of the 1990 revision and expansion of Scheel's "Rivulins...". This is the edition that's juiced up to a coffee table-sized volume. I believe they are in fact the same two photos from the '68 volume, the lower one being flipped from its original orientation.
