Lothar Seegers’ work critically examines the taxonomy of Panchax Bualanus (=BUA), challenging its identification with SCHEEL’s BUA from the Cameroonian highlands. By analyzing the degraded ZMB holotype, he assigns BUA to the subgenus Mesoaphyosemion rather than Kathetys, highlighting differences in morphology that align SCHEEL’s fish with Panchax Elberti (=ELB). Seegers calls for new fieldwork at Buala to clarify BUA’s identity, suggesting the name has been misapplied.
