Africa: middle and lower Zambezi south to the Pongolo system (Ref. 7248, 52193). Absent from upper Save-Runde system (Ref. 7248, 52193). Also reported from the Luangwe (upper Congo River basin) (Ref. 58032, 82238). Reports from the Angolan Congo basin (Ref. 11970) refer to Synodontis macropuncatus (Ref. 75786).
Length at first maturity / 大小 / 重量 / 年龄
Maturity: Lm 15.0  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 43.0 cm SL 雄鱼/尚未辨别雌雄; (Ref. 52193); 最大体重: 820.00 g (Ref. 52193)
背棘 (总数) : 1; 背的软条 (总数) : 7; 臀棘: 0; 臀鳍软条: 11 - 16.
The spines are said to be poisonous (Ref. 4537). Found in pools and slow flowing reaches of perennial and seasonal rivers; prefers riverine habitats to floodplains; shelters in holes or crevices or on the underside of logs, frequently in an upside-down position (Ref. 52193). Active at night, feeds on detritus and plant matter such as seeds as well as small invertebrates like insects and snails, and will scavenge readily (Ref. 52193). Breeds in summer during rainy periods (Ref. 7248, 52193). Oviparous (Ref. 205).
