Short description

Most slender-bodied and perhaps the smallest species of Zaireichthys (Ref. 51287). Entire dorsal surface of head with longitudinally oriented, interrupted ridges (Ref. 51287). Snout more pointed than in other Zaireichthys (Ref. 51287). Eyes small (Ref. 51287). Barbels attenuate, maxillary barbel extending posteriorly to middle of pectoral fin spine (Ref. 51287). Pectoral fin spine elongate, with 7-9 strong serrae (Ref. 51287). Humeral process very short, without denticulations (Ref. 51287). Caudal fin forked, lower lobe larger and longer than upper lobe; number of principal caudal fin rays: 6+5 (Ref. 51287). Caudal peduncle very slender (Ref. 51287). Color spotted, with a prominent dark collar just behind head (Ref. 51287).

It is confined to sandy reaches of the mainstream of the Congo River and its largest tributaries (Ref. 51287).
