Malapterurus teugelsi is a species of electric catfish endemic to Guinea where it occurs in the Kogon River.[1][3] This species grows to a length of 21.2 centimetres (8.3 in) SL.[3]
The fish is named in honor of Belgian ichthyologist Guy Teugels (1954-2003), who as curator of fishes at the Musée Royale de l’Afrique Centrale, collected the type specimen.[4]
