Abstract: Aethiomastacembelus traversi, new species, is described from the lower and middle Zaïre basin, Africa. It is morphologically close to the A. paucispinis and the A. congicus species-complexes and is diagnosed by its long
postanal length (54.5-60.0 % SL), its number of dorsal spines (20-22 + 1) and its unique coloration characterised
mainly by its uniform brown colour on head and body and its black caudal fin. The generic assignment is discussed
based on the most recent phylogenetic analysis of the family.
