Stylocheilus striatus

Here are a selection of references on Stylocheilus striatus. They mainly deal with aspects of the biology and natural history. Any additional references would be welcome.

NOMENCLATURAL NOTE: Most references to Stylocheilus longicauda (Quoy & Gaimard, 1825) on this page and in the references listed are incorrect and really refer to Stylocheilus striatus (Quoy & Gaimard, 1832). See my message and the separate page where the correct identity of these species is discussed. (Added 5 August 1999)
