Name

edit

Aphyosemion grelli Valdesalici & Eberl, 2013

  • Holotype: SMNS 25471.
  • Paratypes: SMNS 25472 (5, 2); MTD F 32782-83 (1, 1).

Type locality: Gabon, Province de la Ngounié, Département de Tsamba-Magotsi, 50 km east of the ferry across the River Ngounié along the road “Route Régionale 22” to Ikobey (Ikobé), a small stream belonging to the Ikoy River system, 00°59′ 07″S, 10°56′ 00″E [1].

Etymology: The specific name is dedicated to the late Wolfgang Grell, member of the DKG (German Killifish Association); a talented killifish collector, breeder, and photographer who only one year before his death in May 2001, directed the second author’s attention to the probable existence of an unknown species in the area east of Sindara.
