Relevant Information:	Synodontis notatus was the original name for many years, but the gender of the generic name has been declared feminine, so the name goes back to the original of notata. This is one of the three similar species which includes S. notata, S. congica and S. nummifer. The diferences between these three can be seen on the Factshheet for S.congica.
