Malabar snakehead

The Malabar snakehead (''Channa diplogramma'') is a vulnerable species of snakehead from freshwater in the Western Ghats in India. Until 2011, it was usually included in the giant snakehead, ''C. micropeltes''.〔Benziger A, Philip S, Raghavan R, Anvar Ali PH, Sukumaran M, et al. (2011) (Unraveling a 146 Years Old Taxonomic Puzzle: Validation of Malabar Snakehead, Species-Status and Its Relevance for Channid Systematics and Evolution. ) ''PLoS ONE 6(6): e21272. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0021272''〕
==Taxonomy==
Sir Francis Day described ''Ophiocephalus diplogramma'' in 1865 based on one juvenile specimen (42 mm in length) collected near the mouth of the Cochin River in the port city of Cochin (southwestern India), and called it Malabar snakehead.〔Day F (1865) On the fishes of Cochin, on the Malabar coast of India. Part I. Acanthopterygii. Proceedings of the General Meetings for Scientific Business of the Zoological Society of London 1865(pt 1): 2–40. Continues as Part II, 286–318.〕 The color pattern of this juvenile matched with that of juveniles of another species of snakehead, ''O. micropeltes'', originally described by Cuvier and Valenciennes from Java, Indonesia.〔Cuvier G, Valenciennes A (1831) Histoire naturelle des poissons, Vol.7. Levrault, Paris-Strasbourg.〕 This possibly led Francis Day to synonymise ''C. diplogramma'' with ''C. micropeltes'' in 1878.〔Day F (1878) Fishes of India; being a natural history of the fishes known to inhabit the seas and freshwaters of India, Burma and Ceylon.〕 The close similarity, rarity of adult specimens in museum collections, and because no taxonomist had studied this snakehead since its description, resulted in the acceptance of the synonymy by subsequent ichthyologists.〔 In 2011, ''C. diplogramma'' was shown to be a valid species 134 years after it was synonymised, making it an endemic species of Peninsular India.〔
