Marcusenius Gill, 1862 species were sampled from the Bandama River and the Comoé River in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa. Marcusenius gracilis sp. nov. was differentiated from M. senegalensis (Steindachner, 1870), Marcusenius ussheri (Günther, 1867) and M. furcidens (Pellegrin, 1920) in electric organ discharges (EOD), and morphologically from all other West African congeners.
