Comments: Known from around Yangambi (Ref. 4910, 42033), Tshuapa and Lomela (Ref. 41580), Itimbiri, Aruwimi (Ref. 106290, Lindi-Tshopo (Ref. 42183, 106290), Lomami, Wagenia rapids (Ref. 106245) and Kasai (Ref. 41591). Other collection specimens originate from the Sankuru (see Ref. 12818). Note that the specimens in MRAC collection from Zambi, collected by Collart (reported in Ref. 41590) are reidentified as Amphilius lamani in the MRAC database (T. Musschoot pers. comm.). Report from the Chiloango (Ref. 41590) is not confirmed in Ref. 81646; these specimens may represent A. nigricaudatus although this species is not reported up to the Chiloango in Ref. 81646. Also Ref. 3818.

Africa: middle and upper Congo River basin in Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ref. 41580, 41590, 41591, 106245, 106290). Reports from Loeme, Kouilou-Niari and Ogowe represent the revalidated Amphilius nigricaudatus (Ref. 81646). Identification of Chiloango and (marine) lower Congo specimens (Ref. 41590) is unclear (see also Ref. 81646).
