Nannopetersius mutambuei ( Wamuini Lunkayilakio & Vreven, 2008)

Occurrence: native

Maximum length: 10.6 cm SL

Water type: freshwater

Environment: pelagic

Depth range: _

Migration: unknown

IUCN status: LC – Least concern (2010) Source: preserved

Distribution and remarks: though described as an endemic to the Inkisi River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, many specimens matching this species precisely in morphology were collected recently from the Ngounie and Louetsi Rivers of Gabon (OS 22216, OS 22217 and others). These apparently conspecific specimens represent a substantial range extension for N. mutambuei (Sidlauskas, pers. com.).
