Ng, HH & RM Bailey, 2006. Chiloglanis productus, a new species of suckermouth catfish (Siluriformes: Mochokidae) from Zambia. Occasional Papers of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology 738: 1รข??13.
Abstract
Chiloglanis productus, new species, is described from the Lunzua River, which drains into the southern tip of Lake Tanganyika in Zambia. It is easily distinguished from congeners in having a color pattern consisting of a pale midlateral stripe on a purplish gray body and without any other distinct pale patches or bands, and by the nature of its sexual dimorphism in caudal fin shape: males have a produced caudal fin (vs. diamond shaped, forked or trilobate in males of other sexually dimorphic congeners).
