Species
The species in Pseudosimochromis were formerly included in Simochromis.[2] The limits between the individual species is in need of a review.[3] As presently defined, following are recognized in the Pseudosimochromis:[2][3][4]
- Pseudosimochromis babaulti (Pellegrin, 1927)
- Pseudosimochromis curvifrons (Poll, 1942)
- Pseudosimochromis margaretae (Axelrod & Harrison, 1978)
- Pseudosimochromis marginatus (Poll, 1956)
- Pseudosimochromis pleurospilus Nelissen, 1978 — likely a synonym of P. babaulti.[3]
gollark: Eventually support seems to come from... bored programmers adding it, some big company pushing it, or it just eventually being implemented in a few things with fallbacks.
gollark: Probably just that while people like the idea of better-compressed images, it's not very useful for a browser or whatever to implement it if no sites use it, and not very useful for a site to implement it if no browsers support it.
gollark: I'm not really sure.
gollark: No, at least in this field they're frequently made by large well-funded teams, but it just takes ages for support to be implemented anywhere.
gollark: I mean, apart from support, AVIF is not very good in terms of being supported by anything at all, but it's technologically superior.
