Remark on taxonomy
Mormyrus microcephalus differs in so many characters from Brienomyrus brachyistius and, on the other hand matches so many characters of Brienomyrus longianalis that there is no reason to assume synonymy of the first mentioned taxa but instead of the Mormyrus microcephalus with Brienomyrus longianalis, with priority of the species designation microcephalus which no doubt belongs into the genus Brienomyrus. See Brienomyrus microcephalus,
Etymology
(gr): brachys: short, small, little, rest unknown; liberiensis: after area of distribution (gr): -ensis: geographical origin or habitat.
