Notes! Callopanchax cf. toddi is phenotypically indistinct from Callopanchax occidentalis and was previously identified as the latter, but DNA studies performed by Sonnenberg reveal a much closer relationship to Callopanchax toddi.

GM 97/2: “Callopanchax sidibei Holotype. ZFMK 41613, male, 58.5 mm SL, Guinea, Guinée maritime, Kindia region, small river and adjacent pools and ditches in a secondary forest (9°32.71' N, 13°14.51' W), close to the small village Bombokoré, about 3 km from the closest larger village Fandi, …Currently C. sidibei is only known from the type locality close to the small village Bombokoré, despite some effort to find further occurrences of this species in the vicinity. Bombokoré is the spelling in the Sousou language, it might have a different spelling on maps or gazetteers. The habitat is a depression with small water bodies, ditches and connected pools in a secondary forest adjacent to a small creek. The water in the creek is only slowly flowing and stagnant in pools and ditches. During the first collection in 1997, the second author measured an air temperature of 36°C, the water temperature in the creek was 27°C and 29°C in ditches, pH was about 5.2, conductivity 10 µS/cm. Water in the ditches was about 20-30 cm deep and clear, the bottom consists of of sand and some stones with a layer of decaying leaves and wood with no aquatic vegetation. Herbaceous plants were found along the edges. Callopanchax sidibei and Epiplatys fasciolatus (Günther, 1866) were found in ditches and pools with standing water. In places with only grass and no leaf cover, only Scriptaphyosemion geryi was recorded. …whereas in 1997 all were fully grown and showed first signs of ageing. …8
