Africa: Congo River basin and Niger Delta (Ref. 2915, 85331). Possibly present in the coastal Nigerian fringe (Ref. 2915). Reports from coastal basins of Cameroon (Ref. 51193) or the Chiloango (Ref. 88943) questionable as the species is reported to be absent from the Lower Guinea Ichthyological Province (Ref. 85331).
非洲: 剛果河流域，尼日三角州, 而且可能是出現在海岸的奈及利亞邊界.(參考文獻 2915)

簡短描述
檢索表 | 型態特徵 | 形態測量圖
背棘 (總數) : 0; 背的軟條 (總數) : 26 - 28; 臀棘: 0; 臀鰭軟條: 34 - 36. Petrocephalus sauvagii is distinguished from all other Petrocephalus species in Central Africa by the following combination of characteristics: very wide mouth (mouthwidth 2,7 to 3,7 in head length) associated with a characteristic head shape when viewed from above, anal fin with at least 32 branched rays, dorsal fin with at least 25 branched rays, mouth subterminal, ration between the head length and the mouth position as large as 7,4 (Ref. 85331). It has 17-30 teeth in upper jaw, and 29-35 teeth in lower jaw (Ref. 2915, 85331). Pigmentation pattern with two melanin markings, sometimes of weak intensity or even scarcely visible: (1) an irregularly round black mark below the anterior base (first to fourth rays) of the dorsal fin; and (2) an ovoid blackish mark, often irregularly shaped, at the base of the caudal fin, extending onto the upper and lower fleshy lobes of the fin (Ref. 85331).
體高 2.6-3.1 x SL, 尾柄高度 16.7-18 x SL, 臀鰭基底鰭 3.2-3.5 x SL。 眼直徑 4.0-4.6個 x 頭長。 主要地第一個銀色的有背部被有顯著的黑色的鰭條。 斑點不碰觸背鰭基底。
Affinities: Same color as P. soudanensis, but distinguished by mouth position, number of teeth and eye size; same morphology as P. bane and P. ansorgii (Ref. 2915).
分類相關: 如 P. soudanensis 的相同顏色. 區別的特徵為嘴巴位置，牙齒數目，眼睛大小了。 如 P. 毒藥 與 P. ansorgii 的相同形態學.
