The paper by Andres et al. (1988) is an important contribution to the anatomy of the electroreceptors in Cetopsid fishes. However, it is not known which species in the Family (39 species in 4 genera, Van der Sleen and Albert 2018) was examined as the paper calls the animal investigated "Pseudocetopsis spec.". This is now in the synonymy of three different Cetopsid genera: Cetopsis, Cetopsidium and Denticetopsis (Eschmeyer et al. 2021). Despite this uncertainty the observations are very valuable.
