 Identification  This is an undescribed species that differs from congeners that show sexual dimorphism in the caudal fin in the nature of the dimorphism: males have an emarginate caudal fin with an enlarged upper lobe. Can be distinguished from South American suckermouth catfishes by lack of body armour plates. Can be distinguised from other African suckermouth catfish (of the genera Euchilichthys and Atopochilus) by its circular suckermouth disc. This is more eliptical in the other two genera.
 Sexing  Males are easily distinguished from females by the elongate upper lobe of the caudal fin.
