Remark: According to Hopkins <i>et al.</i> (Ref. 81635) this species is a Lower Guinea endemic and should be placed in the genus <i>Paramormyrops</i> at species level, but they ignore the fact that there is also a subspecies in West Africa, <i>Brienomyrus kingsleyae eburneensis</i>, whose taxonomic status is now uncertain (Boden, pers. comm.).
Comments: Affinities:  <i>B. k. eburneensis</i> is distinguished by number of teeth in upper jaw and soft rays of dorsal and anal fins.
