Eponymy: Mary Henrietta Kingsley (1862–1900) was an ethnographic and scientific writer and explorer. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
; acqua dolce benthopelagico. Tropical; 23°C - 26°C (Ref. 13614); 1°N - 3°S
Africa: Ogooue system, Gabon; specimens identified as C. kingsleyae from localities outside the Ogooue basin are presumed to be misidentifications, most often of C. mamonekenei and C. melaniae (Ref. 81260).
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5616)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 14 - 15; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 12; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 6 - 8. Diagnosis: 15-19 gill rakers on first gill arch; no large spots on flanks; 4-6 bands or 2 rows of dark blotches and short horizontal lines usually visible when stressed; body depth 25.9-39.6%, mean 35.1% standard length; lachrymal depth 24.6-26.8% head length, mean 25.6% HL); base body coloration light brown to ochre; caudal fin rounded to slightly truncate in females, truncate or with some elongate rays in upper lobe (occasionally also in lower lobe) in males; males one third larger than females (Ref. 81260).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Omnivorous, preferring smaller particles including small fish, albeit rarely (Ref. 52307). Polygamous, ovophilic, female mouthbrooding species (Ref. 52307, 81260) that does not form pair bonds (Ref. 52307). Maximum TL was recorded at 16.5 cm (Ref. 5616).
