Résumé

Paraphiocephalus Senna, 1924 is shown to be a nomen praeoccupatum and is hereby replaced by Parachanna nom. nov. After re-examining 68 specimens of Parachanna obscura and P. insignis, including the type specimens, these two species are considered as distinct. New diagnostic characters are given to distinguish both.
