Etymology: Brycinus: Greek, ebrykon, brykomai = to bite, to gnaw (Ref. 45335).
More on authors: Nichols & LaMonte.
Issue
Affinities: B. bartoni is similar to B. longipennis; the two are distinguished by predorsal scale counts; it is also similar to B. intermedius and B. tholloni but has fewer scales in transverse row between lateral line and dorsal fin origin (Ref. 80290).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecología
; agua dulce pelágico. Tropical
Africa: found in the Ngounié River, a tributary of the Ogowe River in Gabon (Ref. 80290) and in the Kouilou-Niari basin in the Republic of Congo (Ref. 92841).
