No, it automatically becomes known as M. duboulayi Grafton.

That's because Cary doesn't want to listen to me. :-) I've suggested a
couple a times that that needed to be changed along with M.s. tatei
should be from the Barcoo River (I collected the originals that Bowman
sent eggs from to Gary Lange) in addition to those from the Thompson R.
Additionally, Hergott Spring has two tt's and there is no Melanotaenia
sp from Dalhousie (assuming you are referring to Dalhousie Springs?)
Mind you, Cary did fix up some of the other trivial things I pointed out
to him originally.
Oh yer, Chris, when are you gunna get it right? It's M. fluviatilis.
:-) I guess the cold up there must be starting to effect your
brain..........
I'm off to Death Valley to play with pupfish for a few days. :-) Bye.
