Melanotaenia trifasciata [Cato River, Northern Territory] - photo© Dave Wilson Rainbowfish Species The complete species name is comprised of the generic (genus) name and the specific (species) name. The genus is named first and is capitalised followed by the species, which is not. Both the genus and species are often italicised. It is customary to add the name of the author of the species and the date of publication, e.g., Melanotaenia angfa Allen, 1990. Brackets around the author's name, e.g., Melanotaenia nigrans (Richardson, 1843) indicates that, although the original description is accepted, the generic name is no longer valid and has been changed since the species was first described.
