Africa: Chiloango basin and Dja River (middle Congo River basin)(Ref. 81639). Also reported from the Niari (Ref. 53765) and Loeme (Ref. 81639) but this needs confirmation. Report from the Inkisi (lower Congo River basin) based on a misidentification (Ref. 88779). Report from Eala (Ruki drainage in Democratic Republic of the Congo)(Ref. 41591) needs confirmation.

Estimates based on models
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliência (Ref.
120179): médio(a), tempo mínimo de duplicação da população 1,4 - 4,4 anos (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
