Africa: Cuanza and Bengo basins in Angola (Ref. 11970), entire Congo River basin and Okavango, Zambezi, and Kafue systems (Ref. 52193). Present in the Koki River (Tanganyika tributary) (Ref. 36901). Also reported from the Gribingui (Lake Tchad basin) (Ref. 83569), but this needs confirmation.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01175 (0.00533 - 0.02588), b=2.98 (2.80 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
Climate Vulnerability (Ref. 125649): (0 of 100) .
