Etymology: Chiloglanis: Greek, cheilos = lip + Greek, glanis = a fish that can eat the bait without touching the hook; a cat fish (Ref. 45335); camarabounyi: The specific epithet is used as a noun in apposition and refers to Camara-Bounyi, the name of the village adjacent to the type locality; the residents of the village generously allowed access to the type locality, assisted with the collection, and the children provided common names for the species (Ref. 116018).

Short description

Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 2; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 5 - 6; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: Chiloglanis camarabounyi is distinguished from C. normani, C. waterloti, C. longibarbis, C. occidentalis, C. kabaensis, C. kolente, and C. nzerekore in possessing more mandibular teeth in the functional row, and readily distinguished from C. polyodon and C. lamottei in having fewer mandibular teeth in the functional row; it can be distinguished from Chiloglanis aff. micropogon in possessing moderately long mandibular barbels vs. reduced or absent mandibular barbels; it is distinguished from C. tweddlei and C. pezoldi in having shorter pectoral and dorsal spines; it is distinguished from C. loffabrevum in having a longer pectoral spine, a narrower mouth, 8.2-10.7% of standard length vs. 10.2-11.8%, a smaller primary premaxillary tooth patch, 12.7-17.7% of standard length vs. 16.9-20.2%, and a smaller orbit, 4.0-5.5% of standard length vs. 5.0-6.3%; it is distinguished from C. dialloi in having a deeper body at the anus, 14.8-18.2% of standard length vs. 12.0-14.5%, deeper body at dorsal-fin insertion, 16.3-22.5% of standard length vs. 15.3-17.7%, and a deeper caudal peduncle, 11.8-15.2% of standard length vs. 10.1-11.0% (Ref. 116018).
This species is found in large numbers in a medium stream with large areas of exposed bedrock (Ref. 116018).
