Etymology: Ctenopoma: Greek, kteis, ktenos = comb + Greek, poma, -atos = cover (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Rev John Henry Weeks (1861–1924) was a pioneering Baptist missionary in Congo (1882– 1912) who was also an ethnographer, explorer and diarist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Issue
The species Anabas oxyrhynchus Boulenger, 1902 is considered as valid in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. May 2011: Ref. 86870). It is treated here as a synoym of Ctenopoma weeksii Boulenger, 1896 following ICZN's decision to retain the name Ctenopoma weeksii based on the principle of priority (G. Boden, pers. comm).
