Thomas, 1915: 469

Koopman (1989: 9)
indicated that he believed that the larger forms of the genus
Myopterus
(
daubentonii
,
senegalensis
and
albatus
) are all the same species.
Adam
et al.
(1993: 317)
suggested that
M. albatus
might only be a mere subspecies of
M. daubentonii
. This view was also followed by
Simmons (2005: 446)
and
Fahr (
2013i
: 476)
. Besides the specimens from Bunia (Ituri Province), Niangara (Haut-Uélé Province) and the Uélé
River
mentioned by
Hayman
et al.
(1966: 68
, map 113), no further representatives
