Etymology: Pareutropius: Greek, par = beside, near + Greek, eu = well + Greek, tropis = keel, in reference to the compressed body of the fish; debauwi: Named for Mr. De Bauw, collector of the type material of this species (Ref. 43912).
Eponymy: Major Guillaume Clément Adolphe De Bauw (1865–1914) was a Belgian Army officer commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 2nd regiment of line infantry (1886). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Africa: rivers Rembo Ngove and Nyanga in Gabon, Ogooué in Gabon and Republic of Congo, Kouilou in Republic of Congo, and Chiloango in Angola (Ref. 78218, 81643); also throughout the Congo River basin except for the Zambian Congo (Ref. 78218).

Maturity: Lm 6.5 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.6 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 81643)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 1; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 4 - 6. Diagnosis: single pair of mandibular barbels; 4-5 (exceptionally 6) branched dorsal fin rays; 30-54 branched anal fin rays; no dark oblique band (from posterior border of operculum to above anus), no dark spots on caudal lobes, dorsal dark band continues onto caudal fin (Ref. 43912, 81643). 7-8 (rarely 9) branchiostegal rays on one side of head; base of anal fin marked by small dark line (Ref. 43912).
Riverine species with gregarious habits, confined to large as well as moderate and small water systems (Ref. 43912). Forms schools (Ref. 6868). Carnivorous with insectivorous preference; reproduction probably coincides mainly with flood periods (Ref. 43912). Oviparous, eggs are unguarded (Ref. 205). Maximum total length recorded 148 mm (Ref. 43912, 81643).
