Brycinus schoutedeni (Boulenger, 1912) View in CoL

Alestes schoutedeni Boulenger, 1912b:7 , Pl. 18 (fig. 1). Type locality: la Lebuzi à Kuka Muno et Boma Vonde, Bas-Congo. [ Democratic Republic of the Congo]. Syntypes: BMNH 1912.4.1.241–242 (2); BMNH 1912.4 .1.243 (1); RMCA 1599 View Materials (1); RMCA 1600 View Materials (1).

Distribution: 532, 533 (David, Poll, 1937; Paugy, 1986; Mamonekene, Stiassny, 2012a).

Remarks: Paugy, Schaefer (2007) questioned the validity of the species by suggesting it could be a morphotype of Brycinus macrolepidotus Valenciennes, 1850 . This requires confirmation, most likely with genetic studies.
