Teugels of the Royal Museum of Central Africa, collector of the holotype and an important contributor to our knowledge of west and central African fishes (Ref. 44050).

Short description
Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 0; Taggstrålar i analfenan 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 8 - 10; Ryggkotor: 38 - 40. Diagnosis: body elongate and cylindrical; tooth patches narrow; vertically based pectoral fin positioned at body mid-depth; caudal bar frequently extends a narrow band along the body mid-depth, dividing the pale interspace and joining the saddle and caudal bar; medial portion of pelvic fin dark with a well-defined pale rim; caudal saddle and bar pattern more prominent in juveniles and young, the darkened pelvic fin more apparent in larger specimens (Ref. 44050).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref.
