REMARKS
Dossou (1973)
, in his PhD thesis on the fish parasites from South
Benin
, re-described
O. pterigyalis
(as
O. pterygialis
) and indicated a new host:
Pelmatochromis caudifasciatus
Boulenger, 1913
(the species determination of this new host remains uncertain; in fact, it has been synonymised with
Parananochromis caudifasciatus
(Boulenger, 1913)
which is limited to Southern
Cameroon
, the Northern part of the
Congo
and the
Rio Muni
; this distribution excludes the
Benin
Rivers).
