species in Central Africa by the following combination of characteristics. Dorsal fin with at least 25 branched rays (range = 2527). Anal fin with at least 31 branched rays (range = 3135). Mouth large (HL/MW ≤ 3.7, range = 3.03.7). Fifteen to 21 teeth in the lower jaw; 2430 teeth in the upper jaw. Eye large (HL/ED ≤ 3.5, range = 3.23.5). Pigmentation pattern consists of two distinctive melanin markings (black patches): (1) a distinct ovoid mark below the anterior base of the dorsal fin; and (2) a crescent-like mark, sometimes diffuse, centered at the base of the caudal fin and extending onto the upper and lower parts of the caudal fin. EOD appears to be inverted in polarity, with a first main phase that is negative under the standard recording geometry, resulting in a waveform that is very distinctive in comparison to all known congeners.

A). Body and head mostly whitish-silvery, but head also exhibits faint metallic blue-purple iridescence. Dorsum darker than the rest of the body. Melanin patterning consists of two distinct black marks: (1) a distinct ovoid melanin mark below the anterior base of the dorsal fin on each side of the body and (2) a crescent-like melanin mark, sometimes diffuse, centered at the base of the caudal fin on each side and extending onto the upper and lower parts of the caudal fin. No black mark is present at the base of the pectoral fins. The fins themselves are mostly translucent, with the dorsal and caudal fins sometimes turning slightly yellow after formaldehyde preservation.
