Paramphilius teugelsi is a species of loach catfish found in Guinea and Sierra Leone in the Mamou and Kogon Rivers. It grows to a length of 5.1 cm.
The fish is named in honor of Guy Teugels (1954-2003) who as the curator of fishes at the Musée Royale de l'Afrique Centrale contributed to the further knowledge of West-African freshwater fishes.[2]
