The Liberian swamp eel (Typhlosynbranchus boueti) is a species of fish in the family Synbranchidae. It is indigenous to Liberia.[1] It has also been found in Sierra Leone, with an unconfirmed report from Côte d'Ivoire.[2] It was first described by Jacques Pellegrin in 1922 as Typhlosynbranchus boueti, but was later moved to Monopterus.[1] However, a 2020 study revived Typhlosynbranchus.[3] Due to the deficiency in data, the species has not been classified with respect to endangerment.[1]
