Atopochilus mandevillei is a species of upside-down catfish endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo where it occurs in the Kinsuka Rapids. This species grows to a length of 14.1 centimetres (5.6 in) TL.[2]
Etymology
The catfish is named in honor of J. Th. Mandeville, a fisheries agent working for the government of Leopoldville, now known as Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, who collected some of the species paratype specimens.[3]
