Source-derived summary

Wallaciia regani is a species of cichlid native to South America. It is found in the Amazon River basin and in the Trombetas River at Cachoeira Porteira, Brazil. This species reaches a length of 7.9 cm (3.1 in).

The fish is named in honour of Charles Tate Regan (1878–1943), of the Natural History Museum in London, who was the last ichthyologist to revise the genus Crenicichla, where this species was formerly placed, before Ploeg took on the task.

Editorial summary

“Wallaciia regani” enters the record as species of fish. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Wallaciia, regani and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1878, 1943, 2003—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Wallaciia, regani and species.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Wallaciia regani” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Wallaciia, regani and species provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 19, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q276499. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1878, 1943 and 2003.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
