Africa: widely distributed in the Congo basin (Ref. 42032). Also found in the Bénoué, Chad (Ref. 81279), Cross (Ref. 80290, 81279) and the Zambezi River (Ref. 5331, 80290). Report from Lake Tanganyika (Ref. 80290) needs confirmation; in the Lukuga River only known downstream of Niemba (Ref. 36901, 42032).

خارهاي باله پشتي (کل) : 0; شعاع نرم باله پشتي (کل) : 10; خارهاي باله مخرجي: 0; شعاع نرم باله مخرجي: 17 - 22. Diagnosis: lateral line always complete, 24-27 (Ref. 80290) or 27-30 (Ref. 81279) lateral line scales. Anal fin with 3 unbranched and 15-18 (Ref. 80290) or 14-19 (Ref. 81279) branched rays. 10-15 (Ref. 80290) or 10-14 (Ref. 81279) gill rakers on lower part of first branchial arch. 6/8 premaxillary teeth; fins colorless or, at most, pinkish; tip of dorsal fin hyaline (Ref. 2880, 81279), no black apical tip (Ref. 80290). Scales of flank with melanophores concentrated on basal margin (Ref. 80290).
Affinities: M. humilis is most similar and possibly conspecific with M. stormsi Boulenger, 1902, and M. sardina Poll, 1938; apart from coloration, it is distinguished from latter two species on the basis of slight differences in overlapping features (see Ref. 80290).
