Chiloglanis devosi is a species of catfish native to Africa, in particularly rivers in Kenya.[1] The species was first described in 2015, alongside Chiloglanis kerioensis.[2] It was named after Luc De Vos, who had served as the director of the Ichthyology Section of the National Museums of Kenya.[3]

Description

Chiloglanis devosi is a small species of catfish, with a maximum standard length of 49.2 mm.[2] The body is uniformly covered in small tubercles that are present in higher concentrations near the head. While the body is pinkish-brown in coloration, gold marks are present along the sides.[2] The fins are yellow with brown markings.

Sexual dimorphism is present in the species, with females being larger than males.[2] In addition, male C. devosi have anal fins that display elongated rays which can extend beyond the adipose fins.
