sjostedti, Fundulus Lönnberg [E.] 1895:191 [Öfversigt af Kongliga Vetenskaps-akademiens Forhandlingar v. 52 (no. 3); ref. 14584] Waterfall of the Ndian River (4°57'N, 8°53'E) and Bonge, western Cameroon. Syntypes: ZMUU 272 (2). Type catalog: Wallin 1996:61 [ref. 32133]. Originally as "sjöstedti"; since name is not of German origin [Art. 32.5.2.1], the species should be "sjostedti" and not "sjoestedti". The fact that the name of the Swedish collector is printed as Sjöstedt does not make a difference.
