Etymology:
Amphilius:
Greek, amphi = on both sides + Greek, leios = fat
.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; demersal. Tropical; 20°C - 25°C (Ref.
2059
); 0°S - 30°S
Africa: widespread in Central and East Africa (Ref.
7248
,
52193
,
94654
), including Okavango and Zambezi systems, south to the Mkuze system in South Africa (Ref.
7248
,
52193
). Also in the upper Congo drainage and west to Angola (Ref.
87869

A. kivuensis
(Ref.
