FIGURE 9 in A new Stomatorhinus (Osteoglossomorpha: Mormyridae) from the Ivindo River, Gabon, West Central Africa

FIGURE 9. Waveforms and power spectra of EODs from Stomatorhinus walkeri (A – D), S. ater (E, F) and S. patrizii (G, H) on the same time scale as those shown in Fig. 5. EOD waveforms are centered about the largest headnegative peak, normalized to the same peaktopeak height and plotted with head positivity upward for each trace. Power spectra are normalized so that the peak energy is adjusted to 0 dB. Individual specimen numbers are indicated beneath waveforms; F = female, M = male.

FIGURE 15 in African weakly electric fishes of the genus Petrocephalus (Osteoglossomorpha: Mormyridae) of Odzala National Park, Republic of the Congo (Lékoli River, Congo River basin) with description of five new species

FIGURE 15. Petrocephalus phylogeny (17 species, 59 specimens, 53 haplotypes) estimated by maximum likelihood using complete cytochrome b sequences (dataset #1; see text). Gnathonemus petersii, Mormyrops nigricans and Myomyrus macrops were used as outgroups to root the tree. Numbers at internal branches are bootstrap proportions (in %) shown only when they exceed 50%. Due to space limitations, support values are not shown for intraspecific relationships. Black vertical bars to the right of the tree indicate specimens sampled from Odzala. White bars (with the river basins from which the specimens were collected) indicate Petrocephalus individuals from other regions of Africa. The scale bar corresponds to 0.04 substitutions per site.

FIGURE 1. Map of Africa (right) showing the entire Congo River and its main tributaries together with the neighboring Lower Guinea province (first inset at center). The boundary between the Congo and Lower Guinea provinces is shown by a dashed line. Filled black circles indicate type localities for all Petrocephalus species that were described from either province and were considered valid just prior to the present study. Exact type localities are unknown for P. b a l a y i and P. sauvagii. Based on our understanding of the chronology of Central African exploration at the time of the descriptions, we estimate these type localities to be the following: the vicinity of Pool Malebo on the Lower Congo River near the modern cities of Brazzaville and Kinshasa [4.25° S, 15.29° E] for P. sauvagii; and the vicinity of the present-day city Lambaréné on the Lower Ogooué River [0.7° S, 10.22° E] for P. b a l a y i. Second inset at the far left: detailed map of Odzala National Park, located in the Congo River basin. Within the boundaries of the park, forest is shown in green and savannah in yellow. The red oval indicates our collection area (a segment of the Lékoli drainage system, including the lower parts of two of its tributaries, the Pandaka and Lékénie Rivers).
