Distribution and remarks: common throughout much of the Congo Basin. In Lower Guinea, found only in the Chiloango and Kouilou rivers, where it is apparently common in preferred habitat. This species has long been known as C. pellegrini (Boulenger) (or Anabas pellegrini ). The holotype of that species is conspecific with the types of C. nigropannosum which has priority (and in the literature it has most commonly been applied to the preceding species, correctly named C. gabonense ).
