Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': An anthropomorphic character (frequently an animal) has their species misidentified by another character, which often leads to the other character being corrected.
* '''Straight''': Alan the [[SeldomSeenSpecies aye-aye]] is mistaken by Betty for a type of bat. Alan informs her that he is an aye-aye, a species of lemur.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alan is an aardvark. Betty somehow mistakes him for a bird, provoking a [[BerserkButton very strong reaction]] from Alan.
* '''Downplayed''': Alan is an alligator, but Betty thinks he is a crocodile. Alan corrects her, but doesn't make any further comment.
* '''Justified''':
** Betty is unaware of what kind of animal Alan is, often due to [[SmallTaxonomyPools never hearing of the species]], or even because Alan [[InformedSpecies looks nothing like the kind of animal he's supposed to be]].
** Betty is [[MaliciousMisnaming messing with Alan]] because she knows that being called the wrong species pisses Alan off.
* '''Inverted''': AssInALionSkin: Alan tries to be mistaken for another animal.
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': Betty somehow can't tell what any species of animal is.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': No species are misidentified.
* '''Enforced''': Can be a way to tell the viewers what species Alan is, especially in cases of SeldomSeenSpecies or other animals commonly mistaken for each other (alligators/crocodiles, porcupines/hedgehogs, etc).
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': Betty calls Alan by the wrong species when she's upset with him, because she knows that makes him angry.
* '''Defied''':
** Alan knows Betty is wrong, but lets her call him "flightless bat" anyway.
** Betty simply asks Alan what species he is rather than just assuming.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
