The xenica has the same name of a fish the "Adinia Xenica" known also as Diamond killifish and is colored as aple grey and is very very small and have a concave dorsal profile from tip of snout to front of dorsal fin. Do you think it would be some connection? I forgot is also the name of a butterfly,("Ringed Xenica"! orange and black.
- Interesting. I just ran a search for Xenica on Google, in the hopes of finding info about it, and the only animal results were the two already mentioned here (and another butterfly; the Common Xenica"). Wikipedia only listed the fish under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundulidae . However, I don't know if any of these breeds had been classified by 1805. One thing that I found interesting was that the Xenica butterflies had similar colouring to that of the butterflies I suggested for the Chequered Nettle; a Heavyweight. Since all the Heavyweights of the British Isles were achieved through cross-breeding, the Xenica could be a parent breed.
- Apart from that, I found nothing regarding what Xenica means. Perhaps it's a corruption of Xenia?Or maybe it's just a fancy word. Almaron 16:18, 30 August 2010 (PDT)
