Remark: Common name according to Kenney (1985). In Axelrod et al. (1977:494) there is a reference to the range of distribution of this species to the Peruvian Amazon, near Iquitos with the common name Peruvian mottled catfish. However, the photograph shown on the page resembles <i>B. raninus</i>, a species mentioned by Mees (1974) from the Peruvian Amazon.
Comments: Inhabits rivers (Ref. 6868).
