I have not heard of the subspecie of senegulus. In my references I cannot
find a fish that closely resembles senegulus , but with a round tail. This
said, there is a couple of good photographs in one book . " Jurassic Fishes,
by Huruto Kodera and others" of weeksi where one has a pointed and the other
round. These are pictures though, and often pictures can show something that
is not there.

Polypterus are awesome fish. The African bowfin I dubbed them. Where do you
get delhezi? I have only seen senegulus ( and senegulus labeled palmas) and
ornatipinnus.
