dovla935 has got me looking into this because I am curious now:

The PufferPedia: Monotrete Palembangensis
The photos in that section: Tetraodon palembangensis

Fishbase:
Scientific Name: Valid Name:
Monotrete palembangensis Tetraodon palembangensis
also
Tetraodon palembangensis Tetraodon palembangensis

Family:
Tetraodontidae

So where did Monotrete come from is everything should read Tetraodon? :banned:

Fishbase is not up to date in that case...

See forum search for more details.
