Diagnosis: Petrocephalus boboto is distinguished from all other Petrocephalus species of Central Africa by the following combination of characteristics: three distinctive bilateral black spots on body, one at origin of the pectoral fin, one at origin of caudal fin and one on flank just below anterior part of dorsal fin; two distinct electroreceptive rosettes in head, the third rosette reduced in size to few knollenorgan pores; 23 branched rays in dorsal fin and 34 branched rays in anal fin; and triphasic EOD waveform of normal polarity (Ref. 96601).
