Hop to next section Species Information
Size 40mm or 1.6" SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp.
General Remarks The description of this species was published in "Reports of the Swedish Deep-Sea Expedition 1947-1948" which seems somewhat odd given the species occurs in the middle of the Congo. However, the article within that publication was called "Poissons. Exploration du Parc National de l'Upemba" which agrees with where the fish occurs.
