Etymology: Chrysichthys: Greek, chrysos = golden + Greek, ichthys = fish (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Guy G Teugels (1954–2003) was a Belgian ichthyologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Ecología
; agua dulce demersal. Tropical

Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 57126)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 2; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 6; Espinas anales: 0. Diagnosis: first or second branched ray of dorsal fin longest but always shorter than head (comprised from 3.5 to 4.5 times in standard length), never filamentous; base of adipose fin shorter than, or equal to, dorsal fin base; 9-13 (often 10-11) gill rakers on lower limb of first gill arch; pectoral fins with 8 (sometimes 9) branched rays; like most other species of the genus, C. teugelsi shows a sexual dimorphism between mature males and immature specimens (Ref. 57126).
