Nomenclatural notes. Botia nebulosa has usually been listed
as a synonym of Acanthocobitis botia but Blyth (1860:
165) unambiguously described it as a species of Botia, with
the branched suborbital spine. Grant (2007a: unnumb. p. 16)
conjectured that it might be a senior synonym of B. rostrata.
Assuming they are synonyms, B. nebulosa cannot be declared
nomen oblitum under Code art. 23.9.1 because it has been
used (though rarely) as the valid name for a species after
1899 (e.g. Negi, 1994: 156). As long as the identity of B.
nebulosa is not established by examination of the holotype,
B. rostrata should be retained as the valid name of the species.
