REMARKS

In our opinion, measurements and figures given in the original description of C. cf. brevicirrus by Paperna (1969) are almost identical to those of C. digitatus Dossou, 1982 , with which this species had to be synonymised, despite the opinion of Paperna (1979), who synonymised it with C. dionchus .

Pariselle & Euzet 1996 synonymised a part of the individuals named C. halinus with C. digitatus (those found on Tilapia guineensis by Paperna [1969: fig 71 left drawing]).
