Author: (Linnaeus, 1758)
FBname: Nile labeo
Remark: According to Fricke (2008: Ref. 83466) and Eschmeyer (CofF ver. May 2011: Ref. 86870), this species has been wrongly named <i>Labeo niloticus</i> (Forsskål, 1775) for a long time, and should be named <i>Labeo vulgaris</i> Haeckel, 1847.  This needs further evidence and we keep <i>Labeo niloticus</i> but with the authorship as (Linnaeus, 1758) until the case is fixed.
Comments: Most closely resembles <i>L. horie</i>, with which it has often been confused (Ref. 1440).
