Etymology: Synodontis: Greek, syn, symphysis = grown together + Greek, odous = teeth (Ref. 45335).
Entorno: milieu / zona climática / rango de profundidad / gama de distribución
Ecología
; agua dulce bentopelágico; potamodromo (Ref. 51243). Tropical; 8°N - 6°N
Africa: endemic to the Comoé basin (Côte d'Ivoire)(Ref. 57223).
Tamaño / Peso / Edad
Madurez: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 17.4 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 57223)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 1; Espinas anales: 0. Diagnosis: gill slits not extending ventrally beyond pectoral-fin insertions; post-orbital length at least 60% of snout length; maxillary barbels unbranched, longer than head, without tubercles and bordered by a dark basal membrane; outer mandibular barbels with long and simple ramifications; branches of inner mandibular barbels shorter, thicker and tuberculate; mandibular teeth slender and short, numbering 56-70 (63 in the holotype); denticulations of pectoral-fin spines stronger on inner than on outer margin; dorsal-fin spine long and smooth anteriorly; first branched dorsal-fin ray prolonged into a black filament that may be rather long; humeral process triangular and narrow, ending in a blunt point, not keeled ventrally; adipose fin moderately developed, rounded posteriorly and distinctly separated from rayed dorsal fin; eyes large (Ref. 57223).
Coloration: body more or less uniformly greyish, often finely speckled on back, sides and adipose fin, this pattern being much more distinct in pale specimens (Ref. 57223).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Maximum TL was recorded at 22.0 cm (Ref. 57223). Oviparous (Ref. 205).
