Popis:	The holotype of Fundulus beauforti Ahl, 1924, was studied in order to decide between two different opinions about its taxonomic identity. It was placed by several authors either as synonym to Raddaella batesii (Boulenger, 1911) or Mesoaphyosemion cameronense (Boulenger, 1903). These taxa are easily distinguished by the position of dorsal-fin origin in relation to anal-fin and slightly different numbers of dorsal- and anal-fin rays. As the unpaired fins of the type of F. beauforti are mostly missing, the number and position of the remains of fin rays and pterygophores were estimated by a µCT scan. The results clearly indicate that F. beauforti is a junior synonym of R. batesii. (© 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
