Comments: Affinities: most similar to <i>Brachypetersius huloti</i> from the Congo River basin, from which it differs in the extension of the lateral band onto the median caudal fin rays, presence of a humeral spot and fewer scales (4.5-5.5 vs 6.5) in transverse series between lateral line and dorsal fin origin (Ref. 80290).
