next to the last simple ray of both dorsal and anal fins is movable 
and connected to the last simple ray by only a membrane; this next 
to the last simple ray of the dorsal fin is spine-like; the lips are thin, 
the groove of the lower lip is interrupted at the tip of the chin by 
a narrow frenum; premaxillary protractile; mouth a little oblique, 
the rear edge of the maxillary reaching to just underneath the front 
margin of the eye; pectorals not quite reaching to insertion of pelvics; 
pelvics not quite reaching to the anus; snout rounded, the lower jaw 
a little shorter than upper, the snout not projecting beyond pre- 
maxillary; caudal fin forked. 
The color is brown above, paler below, with a blackish band 
along the midaxis broken into 4 blackish spots on some specimens 
which more or less fuse with the black band, or the spots are absent 
except the last at base of midcaudal fin rays; when the spots are 
present the first occurs just above the lateral line on about the 5th 
and 6th scale rows crossing the lateral line; the second black spot 
just behind and below rear of base of dorsal fin, the third above and 
just behind the rear base of anal fin usually is more diffuse and less 
distinct than the others and the last black spot more intense than the 
others at rear of caudal peduncle on midaxis; the posterior margins 
of the scales are strongly pigmented with blackish; lower lip black; 
upper lip and front of snout blackish; dorsal, pectoral and caudal fins 
dusky; anal and pelvics white; peritoneum pale with a few black 
specks. 
Remarks.—This new species resembles somewhat Barbus trispilus 
but differs in its color pattern; the spots when present number 4 
instead of 3; it differs from other cyprinids with a similar color 
pattern in having the suborbital bone below rear half of eye 
expanded, 3 times wider than the adjacent anterior suborbital bone, 
and covering at least 24 of the cheek in combination with the free 
simple rays of dorsal and anal fins, the next to last simple ray 
attached to the last simple ray of these fins by a membrane and not 
at all fused or attached to it firmly. 
Named flomoi after one of the Africans who helped Dr. Mann 
collect specimens.
