This is one of three poorly
documented pygmy Synodontis, the other two being M.lamberti
and M.batesii.
The members of this genus are sometimes confused with another small
member of the Mochokidae family, namely Mochokielia
paynei, but paynei has a forked tail
whereas members of Microsynodontis possess a rounded caudal
and do not have branched maxillary barbels like M.paynei. There
are at the moment (2011) 11 species in this genera.
