Etymology: Bryconaethiops: Greek, bryko = to bite+ Aethiops, region in North east Africa (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Günther.
Issue
The synonym Bryconaethiops yseuxi is revalidated (Ref. 74421).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
; Água doce pelágico(a,os,as); pH range: 6.0 - 7.5; dH range: 8 - 18. Tropical; 24°C - 28°C (Ref. 2060)
Africa: Ogowe (Ref. 5331, 80290), Nyong, Lobé, Ntem, Kouilou basins and in Nkomi lagoon (Ref. 80290). Also in the lower, middle (Ref. 80290) and upper (Ref. 5331) Congo and the Malagarasi (Ref. 54847). Reports from Lake Kivu (Ref. 5331, 80290) are based on an erroneous locality interpretation whereby the Kivu Province was mistaken for Lake Kivu (Ref. 46152).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 17.2 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 74421)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais (total) : 10; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 18 - 23. Diagnosis: 6.5-7.5 scales in transverse row between lateral line and dorsal fin origin; 12 scales around caudal peduncle (Ref. 74421, 80290); 35-40 (Ref. 80290) or 34-41 (Ref. 74421) lateral line scales. Eye diameter/head length 26-40% (Ref. 80290) or 31.4-43.8 (Ref. 74421). 15-20 (Ref. 80290) or 17-19 (Ref. 74421) anal fin branched rays.
Affinities: similar to B. macrops but with a higher number of scales around caudal peduncle and a smaller eye (Ref. 80290).
