Etymology: Heteromormyrus: Greek, heteros = other + Greek mormyros = a kind of fish similar to Boops sp. (Ref. 45335); szaboi: Named in honor of the late Dr. Thomas Szabo of the Laboratoire de Neurophysiologie Sensorielle Comparée (CNRS) at Gif-sur-Yvette near Paris, one of the founding fathers of the field of electroreception (Ref. 52128).
Eponymy: Dr Thomas Szabo (1924–1993) was a Hungarian physician and neuroscientist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5002 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01288 (0.00598 - 0.02775), b=2.86 (2.68 - 3.04), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
