finding Chrysichthys--taxonomy and sp. info

Am I correct in remembering chrysichthys is Synodontis? the fish I want info on is Chrysichthys furcatus. Burgess has them under synos and they sure look and act like synos to me.
I don't see them on the PC genus list.
Anyone?

Look under the family Claroteidae.
Synos are in the family Mochokidae.

Thanks. I did find C. furcatus in Claroteidae, but could not tell from the pic if it was the same fish I had. The EYES in the rest of the depicted Chrysi. were the same huge dark eyes on my "furcatus", but the fish looked a bit small.
Do you know if Frank Glennon from the Steinhart is on this forum? He received the fish on my ID, which was based on Burgesse's. I wonder if anyone came up with a better ID or a comfirmation on the fish at the Steinhart.
