Etymology: Barboides: Latin, barbus = barbel + Greek, oides = similar to (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ökologie
; süßwasser benthopelagisch. Tropical; 24°C - 26°C (Ref. 12468)
Africa: occurs in small coastal rivers in Benin and southern Nigeria (Ref. 2940, 81282, 81639), also known from Cameroon (Ref. 81282, 81639) and Equatorial Guinea (Ref. 81639).

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 1.8 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 2940)
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 8; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 7 - 8. Diagnosis: single 8-shaped nostril on either side of head; absence of barbels, suborbital bones and lateral line; dorsal fin with 6 branched rays and well in front of anal fin (Ref. 81282, 81639).
Distinguished from small Barbus in sight by absence of barbels, absence of lateral line and 1 single nostril in form of 8 at each side of snout (Ref. 81282, 81639). Occurs throughout the lower forested coastal lowlands in small slow flowing rivers under forest cover (Ref. 2801).
