Range Description
This species is known from Guinea to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Central Africa: Chiloglanis batesii is found throughout the Congo basins (in the Lower and This species is known from upper Congo River basins, and in the Dja and the Kasai River systems, Central Congo River basin), and almost every river basin in Cameroon except the Ndian and Nyong Rivers. This species is probably heterospecific and represents a species complex. Records of C. batesii in the Lower Congo need confirmation.
Western Africa: In Western Africa, this species is found in the basins of the Niger, Chad (Central African Republic), and Cross (Nigeria). It has also been recorded in Guinea and Mali.
