Brycinus opisthotaenia (Boulenger, 1903)

Alestes opisthotaenia Boulenger, 1903c:22 , Pl. 1 (fig. 2). Type locality: Kribi River and Mvile River, southern Cameroon. [In the original description, four specimens referred to as originating from the Kribi River and Mvile River were examined. However, Boulenger (1909a) specifically listed four specimens from “Kribi River” as the types. Moreover, in the BMNH collection only the four Kribi specimens are labeled as type material. Therefore, Kamdem Toham, Teugels (1997) considered that the Mvile specimen has no type status, and the type locality should be “Kribi River, southern Cameroon ”]. Lectotype: BMNH 1902.11 .12.109. [Designated by Kamdem Toham, Teugels (1997)].

Distribution: 505, 532, 533 (Paugy, 1986; Kamdem Toham, Teugels, 1997; Paugy, Schaefer, 2007; Mamonekene, Stiassny, 2012a).
