“…The highly mobile chin appendage—the Schnauzenorgan—of the weakly electric fish Gnathonemus petersii (Günther, 1892) has given this species its popular name: “Elephantnose fish.” The Schnauzenorgan is in fact a multisensory organ used to scan features of the environment or, probing like a finger, to explore nearby objects and to search for food on the river bed (Amey‐Özel, von der Emde, Engelmann, & Grant, ; Bacelo, Engelmann, Hollmann, von der Emde, & Grant, ; Pusch et al, ; von der Emde et al, ; von der Emde & Bleckmann, ). The Schnauzenorgan is densely covered with electroreceptors, including both mormyomasts and ampullary receptors (Bell, Zakon, & Finger, ; Bennett, ; Harder, ; Szabo, ) and has been described as an electrosensory fovea (Amey‐Özel, Hollmann, & von der Emde, ; Bacelo et al, ; Hollmann, Engelmann, & von der Emde, ; Pusch et al, ; von der Emde & Schwarz, ).…”
