Pigmentation pattern consists of two melanin markings (black patches): (1) a distinct, although generally weak, round black mark on each side of the body below the anterior base of the dorsal fin (first to fifth rays); and (2) a crescentlike mark at the base of the caudal fin on each side, not extending onto the rayed portions of the upper and lower caudal fin lobes. EOD of normal polarity.

A). Body mostly white-silver. Dorsum slightly darker than the rest of the body. Pigmentation pattern consists of two melanin markings: (1) a distinct, but weak, round black mark below the anterior base of the dorsal fin (first to fifth rays); and (2) a crescent-shaped mark at the base of the caudal fin, which does not extend onto the rayed portions of the upper and lower caudal fin lobes. No black mark is present at the base of pectoral fins. The fins themselves are translucent.

Map of Africa (right) showing the entire Congo River and its main tributaries together with the neighboring Lower Guinea province (first inset at center).

Exact type localities are unknown for P. b a l a y i and P. sauvagii. Based on our understanding of the chronology of Central African exploration at the time of the descriptions, we estimate these type localities to be the following: the vicinity of Pool Malebo on the Lower Congo River near the modern cities of Brazzaville and Kinshasa [4.25 ° S, 15.29 ° E] for P. sauvagii; and the vicinity of the present-day city Lambaréné on the Lower Ogooué River [0.7 ° S, 10.22 ° E] for P. b a l a y i.
