Marcusenius Gill [T. N.] 1862:139 Masc. Mormyrus anguilloides Linnaeus 1758. Type by subsequent designation. Gill (1862:139) described M. brachistius and included with it anguilloides, tuckeri and zambanenje, but in key on same page (in error) associated cyprinoides with Marcusenius as the implied type, with anguilloides in Mormyrops. Gill 1863:44 designated anguilloides as type. Treated as valid as Marcusensius Gill 1862 -- (Taverne 1972:165 [ref. 6367], but apparently with wrong type). •Valid as Marcusenius Gill 1862 -- (Bigorne & Paugy 1990 [ref. 13599], Lévêque et al. 1989:114 [ref. 26480], Paugy & Bénech 1989:299 [ref. 26478], Bigorne in Lévêque et al. 1990:137 [ref. 21589], Paugy et al. 1990:336 [ref. 26477], Poll & Gosse 1995:137 [ref. 24781], Seegers 1996:67 [ref. 23725], Boden et al. 1997:1161 [ref. 23218], Dankwa et al. 1999:15 [ref. 28023], Kramer et al. 2007:647 [ref. 29168], Hopkins et al. 2007:281 [ref. 30019], Marshall 2011:50 [ref. 31755], Kramer 2013:105 [ref. 32737], Kramer & Wink 2013:7 [2333] [ref. 32824], Maake et al. 2014:455 [ref. 33223], Sullivan et al. 2016:140 [ref. 34183], Kramer et al. 2016:1 [ref. 34331], Kisekelwa et al. 2016:341 [ref. 34365], Kramer et al. 2016:367 [ref. 34938], Decru et al. 2019:[1] [ref. 36749], Mambo Baba et al. 2020:1100 [ref. 37385]).
