B. ra&cliffii is nearly related to the preceding species, to B. labiatus, Blgr., 

 from the Mathoiya River, Kenya district, and to B. duchesnii, described above. 

 It differs from the second in the rather more elongate body with 32 to 36 scales 

 in the lateral line instead of 28 or 29, in the shorter barbels, in the less developed 

 lips, in the pectoral fin not reaching the ventral, and in the less deeply notched dorsal 

 fin ; from the third in the more terminal mouth, in the shorter barbels, and in the less 

 deeply notched dorsal fin. 



According to Mr. Degen, the native name at Entebbe is Kisinjo.
