Name

Labeobarbus mariae (Holly, 1926)

• Syntypes: NMW 7221-23 (3).

Type locality: Sanaga River basin, Cameroon.

Etymology: matronym not identified nor can identity be inferred from available evidence; however, “Maria” must have been important to Holly (his wife?) because he gave two other fishes the same honorific: Barbus mariae (Cyprinidae) and Stomatepia mariae (Cichlidae).

Synonyms

• Varicorhinus mariae Holly, 1926
