Known from Lake Kivu, Rusizi basin and Middle Akagera (Ref. 27626, 46152). A record by Verbeke (1957) of Barbus cf. duchesni Boulenger, 1902 (a junior synonym of B. intermedius Rüppell, 1836) from Lake Kivu refers to this species. Hulot (1956) reported the group B. bynni (Forskal, 1775) - B. radcliffi (Boulenger 1903)- B. altianalis from Lake Kivu which refers in fact to the single B. altianalis. A record of B. victoriae Boulenger, 1908 (junior synonym of B. marequensis Smith, 1841) from the Middle Akagera by Mahy (1977) is a misidentification for one of the three large barbs occuring in this system (Ref. 46152). |
