Parophiocephalus (subgenus of Ophiocephalus) Senna [A.] 1924:156 Masc. Ophiocephalus obscurus Günther 1861. Type by subsequent designation. Apparently 3 included species (article not translated), with genus established for obscurus but type not designated. Objectively invalid; preoccupied by Parophiocephalus Popta 1905 in fishes; replaced by Parachanna Teugels & Daget 1984 -- (see Teugels et al. 1986:288 [ref. 6202]). Correct spelling of genus of type species is Ophicephalus. •In the synonymy of Parachanna Teugels & Daget 1984 -- (Teugels in Lévêque et al. 1992:655 [ref. 21590], Bonou & Teugels 1985:268 [ref. 26743]). 1°Homonym. Current status: Synonym of Parachanna Teugels & Daget 1984. Channidae.
