Taxonomic Remarks
Amphilius nigricaudatus is a valid species based on Ref. 81646 and comprises the populations of A. brevis s.l. outside the Congo basin (T. Musschoot, pers. comm.).
Umwelt: Milieu / Klimazone / Tiefenbereich / Verbreitungsgebiet
Ökologie
; süßwasser demersal. Tropical; 3°N - 10°S
Africa: middle and upper Congo River basin in Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ref. 41580, 41590, 41591, 106245, 106290). Reports from Loeme, Kouilou-Niari and Ogowe represent the revalidated Amphilius nigricaudatus (Ref. 81646). Identification of Chiloango and (marine) lower Congo specimens (Ref. 41590) is unclear (see also Ref. 81646).
