Relevant Information:

Habitat: Inhabits small groundwater cavities in Somalia. There may be more species waiting to be discovered in the genus but for now it is monotypic. It is a small Clariid and as it is a cave dwelling species it has been added to the IUCN Red List of vulnerable species (1996) due to the removal of water from its habitat by pump. CHARDON (1968) made a study of this species among others, and stated that it is a form between the Families of Clariidae and Bagridae and as such should be in its own family, Uegitglanididae.
