| Etymology of specific epithet |
The current name of the Inkisi River is derived from its local appellation 'Nzadi I nkisi' in Kikongo (Kintandu/Kindibu dialects), referring to the missionaries who threw the 'mi-nkisi', fetish object containing a certain nkisi spirit, in the river in their effort to convert the local populations to Christianity; species name referring to this new name of the river basin to which it appears endemic; in addition, by its reference to the nkisi-objects, indirectly referring to the enigmatic hybridization complex of which this species is a parental species; a noun in apposition, making its gender ending unchangeable (Ref. 127934).
