Gymnotus inaequilabiatus (Valenciennes, 1839)

Carapus inaequilabiatus Valenciennes, 1839 , in Valenciennes, 1835-42: Poissons pl. 14 (later described in Valenciennes, 1847: 11, as Carapeus inaequilabiatus ). Type locality: Argentina, Rio de la Plata, near Buenos Aires. Neotype: MNHN 0000-4615; 920 mm TL, designated by Maxime, Albert (2014: 463, fig. 1).

Remarks: Redescribed in Maxime, Albert (2014); specimen previously reported ( Bertin, 1948) as holotype (MNHN 0000- 4615) is apparently not the illustrated specimen (reported as 0.60 m TL, Valenciennes, 1847: 11).
