.
Holotype
:
MRAC 79-1
-P-137 (ex.
Coll. Parc Nat. Upemba
). Type locality: Masombwe,
Kipepe River
, tributary of
Tumbwe River
,
Upper Lulalaba
(
Congo
) basin,
Democratic Republic of Congo
. (
Note
:
Because
the type locality of this species is far removed from all other
Paramormyrops
, our reassignment is tentative pending additional molecular, morphological and electrophysiological studies.)
