Taxonomic Remarks
Labeo kibimbi is a valid species according to Ref. 26192; if accepted L. degeni does not occur in Lake Tanganyika.
Meio ambiente: milieu / Zona climática / intervalo de profundidade / faixa de distribuição
Ecologia
; Água doce bentopelágico. Tropical; 5°N - 10°S
Africa: lectotype and paralectotype locality of Labeo degeni: "Kinshasa, near the rapids" (Ref. 26192). Distribution of this species in the Congo basin as given in Ref. 26192, with reports from the marine lower Congo, Kasai, Ubangi, Wagenia Falls and upper Lualaba, is questionable.
