Etymology: Chiloglanis: Greek, cheilos = lip + Greek, glanis = a fish that can eat the bait without touching the hook; a cat fish (Ref. 45335); devosi: This species is named in honour of Dr. Luc De Vos, the late ichthyologist and director of the Ichthyology Section at the National Museums of Kenya; Dr. De Vos was instrumental in establishing the collection at NMK and building it into a regional and internationally invaluable collection (Ref. 105400).

Description synthétique
Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total): 2; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 4-6; Épines anales 0; Rayons mous anaux: 10 - 11. Diagnosis: Chiloglanis devosi is distinguished from C. somereni by having shorter dorsal spines, 12.3-17.2% of standard length vs. 17.9-23.0%, and having the anterior and posterior nares the same distance apart vs. posterior nares further apart in C. somereni (Ref. 105400). Chiloglanis devosi is easily distinguished from the other Kenyan congeners in having a wider occipital shield width, more than 5% of standard length vs. less than 5%, more mandibular teeth, 8 or more vs. 8 or fewer, and a smaller orbit, less than 4% of head length vs. more than 4% (Ref. 105400).
This species is found around rocks and small boulders in flowing water (Ref. 105400).
