Africa: Saint Paul River in Liberia (Ref. 2801, 2940, 13331, 81282). Ref. 13331 reports presence in Mano, Moa and Lofa rivers. May also be present in the Corubal River in Guinea-Bissau (Ref. 1440), but this needs to be confirmed (Ref. 2940, 81282).
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 16.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 2801)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 14; Raggi anali molli: 8. Diagnosis: dorsal profile arched; deep body; body depth 3.3-3.6x SL; depth of caudal peduncle 0.6-0.7x its length; numerous gill rakers: 57-69 (50-150mm) and 78 (150-250 mm); scale formula 5.5/36/4.5; 3.5-4.5 scales between lateral line and pelvic-fin base; 16 scales around caudal peduncle; 10 dorsal fin branched rays; known from Liberia (Ref. 2940, 81282).
Maximum TL was recorded at 21 cm (Ref. 2801). Affinities: distinguished from other Labeo species by its high body and the # and form of the gill rakers.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00708 (0.00317 - 0.01581), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
