Distribution and remarks: known to have a typical Nilo-Sudanian distribution. It is found in the White Nile, Egypt and Sudan, the Lake Chad drainage, the entire Niger River drainage (except the lower Niger, where it is replaced by C. kingsleyae ), the Senegal and Gambia Rivers and coastal drainages in Ghana, Togo and Côte d’Ivoire. Also reported from Gabon ( Gosse, 1986). However, the presence of this species must be verified according to the known distribution of the species which is mainly Nilo-Sudanian.
