E. boulengeri ?

Epiplatys boulengeri (Pellegrin, 1926) [Synonym: junior, new� Occurrence: native

Maximum length: 6 cm TL

Water type: freshwater

Environment: benthopelagic

Depth range: _

Migration: unknown

IUCN status: DD – Data deficient (2010)

Source: bibliography, preserved

Distribution and remarks: known from the Congo Basin in the central and eastern Republic of the Congo (Upper Kouilou-Niari basin) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and found in the drainage systems of the upper Lekoni-Djouya and upper Mpassa rivers, south-eastern Gabon and the Boumba River system in south-eastern Cameroon in Lower Guinea. It seems that the specimens of this species in Gabon waters belong to another species, E. boulengeri (Pellegrin, 1926) , which has been put in synonymy with E. multifasciatus but must be rehabilitated as a valid species (Chirio, pers. com.).
