Young people with albinism, their families and their teachers talk about educating learners with albinism at school Shakira Zibel, a young Malawian woman with brown albinism, uses an umbrella to protect herself from the sun. The AIMZ project Using radio drama and mobile phone messaging to: • educate communities about albinism and • train teachers on techniques to accommodate children with albinism in mainstream schools

One specimen was collected in a tributary of the Chucunaque River in the Tuira basin. The species showed a monophasic electric organ discharge. Molecular analyses indicated that G. henni from Panama and Colombia are closely related and represent an independent and basal lineage to the Central American G. cylindricus and South American G. carapo groups. Evolutionary and biogeographic implications are discussed.
