PARAMORMYROPS KINGSLEYAE (GÜNTHER, 1896)

Marcusenius kingsleyae Günther, 1896: 281, Pl.15, Fig. a. Holotype (unique): BMNH 1897.5.5:100. Type locality: Old Calabar, Nigeria. (Note: Type locality is questionable and probably the specimen came from the Ogooué River Basin of Gabon (see Teugels & Hopkins 1998: 200 for remarks on possible error in type locality)].

Marcusenius cabra e Boulenger, 1900: 130, Pl.48, Fig. 1. Syntypes MRAC 274–275(2), BMNH 1899.11.27:91 (1). Type locality: Marais de Kop-Malafu, Mayumbe, Congo-Brazzaville (Kouilou-Niari Basin), 5.20°S, 12.3°E. Placed in synonymy by Boulenger (1912): 6.

Paramormyrops kingsleyae – Hopkins et al., 2007: 302.

Note: Pending confirmation from DNA study, we suspect Pollimyrus kingsleyae eburneensis Bigorne, 1990, from the Agnébi, San Pedro and Banco Rivers in Ivory Coast, is most probably a species of Pollimyrus Taverne, 1971 (not a Paramormyrops) and recognize it here as Pollimyrus eburneensis (Bigorne, 1990) .
