Etymology: Parauchenoglanis:Greek, para = near + Greek, auchen = neck + Greek, glanis = a fish that can eat the bait without touching the hook; a cat fish (Ref. 45335); stiassnyae:Named after Melanie L. J. Stiassny (MLJS) of the AMHN. MLJS is the initiator of the AMNH Congo Project.
脊椎骨: 28 - 29. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: total vertebrae 28-29; pre-anal vertebrae 13-14; narrow supraoccipital process-nuchal plate interdistance 1.4-2.9% HL; wide orbital head width 64.7-76.2%; wide mouth 37.8-50.8% HL; wide premaxillary toothplate 12.9-18.6% HL; wide head, head width 70.1-81.1% HL; short dorsal-fin spine 10.8-16% SL); small orbital diameter 9.5-14.2% HL), wide interpectoral distance 16.7-21.4%; short adipose-fin–caudal-fin interdistance 2.7-5.2% SL); narrow interorbital distance 19.5-27.1% HL (Ref. 131888). Cross section: oval.
This species was collected in forested habitats over mud and plant debris in tributaries of the Mfimi River. The rivers where specimens were collected are characterized by a humic, moderately acidic (pH 4.1-5.3), dark-brown water with low conductivity (10–50 μS/1cm) , and low concentrations of dissolved solids (TDS: 10–30 mg/L). These parameters, combined with the species body colouration, suggest that this species is adapted to forested habitats, muddy, humic, and dark-brown waters of the Mfimi River tributaries (Ref. 131888).
