Enteromius ablabes is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Enteromius.[2] It occurs in West Africa from the Sahel to the coast between Guinea and Nigeria, south to the central Congo Basin.[1] The relationship of E. ablabes to other Enteromius is uncertain. Tsigenopoulos et al. (2002)[3] found it to be sister to E. macrops. Yang et al. (2015)[4] using the same sequence found it to be sister to E. anema, and Hayes et al. (2017)[5] found the Tsigenopoulos et al. specimen to be sister to E. anema + E. cf. guildi and newly sequenced specimens from Guinea to be sister to be in a clade with a specimen of E. punctitaeniatus and that clade sister to E. bigornei and E. foutensis. The Tsigenopoulos et al. specimen is from Ivory Coast, but a catalog number is not provided to check identity. Enteromius punctitaeniatus is a species very similar in appearance to E. ablabes, differing by having 9 circumpeduncular scales vs. 12. Enteromius ablabes is likely polymorphic with one species already described from within it (E. parablabes) (Lévêque et al. 1990[6]). This description conforms to the current hypothesis on the identity of E. ablabes; however, the species will need to be examined in greater detail to determine if there are multiple species present.
