Etymology: Amphilius: Greek, amphi = on both sides + Greek, leios = fat.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
; Água doce demersal. Tropical; 15°N - 13°N
Africa: upper tributaries of the rivers Senegal, Gambia, Corubal, Konkouré, Little Scarcies and Niger; also reported (only once) from the River Loffa in Guinea (Ref. 57128). Also in the Jong/Pampana River (Ref. 13331)

Estimates based on models
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00285 - 0.00965), b=3.18 (3.01 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliência (Ref.
120179): médio(a), tempo mínimo de duplicação da população 1,4 - 4,4 anos (Assuming Fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
