Etymology: Polypterus:Greek, poly = a lot of + Greek, pteron = wing, fin (Ref. 45335); mokelembembe:Named after Mokele-mbembe, a mythological creature believed by some to be a sauropod dinosaur that has survived the extinction of dinosaurs at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary in the central Congo basin; the name is chosen as an allusion to the archaic na.

背棘 (总数) : 6 - 8; 背的软条 (总数) : 0. subcylindrical and elongate body, becoming increasingly laterally comressed over its caudal third (Ref. 563367). Head is slighlty flattened dorsoventrally; mouth terminal; lips fleshy; snout comparatively acute (Ref. 56367). Internostril distance 11.6-13.7% of head length (Ref. 56367). Number of dorsal finlets: 6-8 (Ref. 56367). Wide first dorsal-fin spine, 6.4-8.1% of head length (Ref. 56367). Pectoral fins broadly rounded, almost circular, not reaching level of first dorsal spine (Ref. 56367). Ganoid scales (Ref. 56367): 57-60 lateral-line scales, 32-38 scales around body, 32-37 predorsal scales, 42-47 prepelvic scales (Ref. 56367). Visible part of body scales approximately square on flanks and rhomboid on caudal peduncle (Ref. 56367). Slightly elongated lateral-line pores are located on atnerior portion of each scale in the first half and in the central part of the second half of lateral line (Ref. 56367). In preserved specimens, dorsal two thirds of body dark grey overall, with several broad and ill-defined dark grey to black bands and blotches; these dark blotches and bands may converge on dorsal third of body to form braod saddles on anterior half of body in front of first finlet (Ref. 56367). No abrupt transition between the dark dorso-lateral body coloration and the light beige ventral coloration (Ref. 56367). A single large black blotch on pectoral fin base (Ref. 56367). Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: circular. 子圆筒形的与细长的身体, 逐渐地侧面地变成 comressed 它的之上尾部的第三.(参考文献 563367) 头部是有背腹性地被平的 slighlty; 口端位; 唇肉质的; 吻比较尖锐.(参考文献 56367) Internostril 距离 11.6-13.7% 的头长.(参考文献 56367) 背部离鳍的数字: 6-8.(参考文献 56367) 宽的第一背鳍棘, 6.4-8.1% 的头长.(参考文献 56367) 胸鳍宽广地圆的, 几乎圆形, 不达到第一背鳍棘的水平.(参考文献 56367) 硬鱗:(參考文獻 56367) 57-60個側線鱗片, 32- 身體的周圍 38個鱗片, 32-37個前背的鱗片, 42-47個腹鰭前的鱗片.(參考文獻 56367) 身體鱗片的看得見部份大約在側面上一致與長斜方形的在尾梗上.(參考文獻 56367) 些微瘦長的側線孔在前半與側線的第二個一半的中央部份中被位於每個鱗片的 atnerior 部分上。 (參考文獻 56367) 在保存的標本中, 背部的三分之二的身體深灰色的整體, 有一些寬而模糊的深灰色的到黑色的條紋與斑塊; 這些黑色斑塊與條紋可能在背部的身體中的第三上聚集在第一個小鰭之前在前半部的身體上形成 braod 鞍狀斑。 (參考文獻 56367) 沒有在深色的背-側身體顏色與淡的淺褐色的腹顏色之間的突然轉變.(參考文獻 56367) 在胸鰭基底上的一個大的黑色斑塊.(參考文獻 56367)
