Eponymy: M. (Monsieur) Petitjean (forename not given) was honoured for his role in facilitating Daget’s missions in Guinea, but without further information from the original text we have been unable to unearth more details. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologie
; zoet water benthopelagisch. Tropical
Africa: present in Bafing River in the upper Senegal basin and known from the upper Niger in Guinea (Ref. 2940, 81282).
Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 16.0 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 2940)
Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 13; Anale zachte stralen: 8. Diagnosis: last simple dorsal ray ossified and as long as head in largest individuals, ossified at base, ossified portion shorter than head (60-85% of head length); lips poorly developed, without mental lobe; 9 dorsal fin branched rays; scale formula 3.5-4.5/23-26/4.5; 2 scales between lateral line and pelvic-fin base; 12 scales around caudal peduncle; 1-3/10-11 gill rakers on first gill arch (Ref. 2940, 81282).
Maximum TL was recorded at 20.5 cm (Ref. 2801). Affinities: sympatric with B. bynni occidentalis in Bafing and Upper Niger where they are easily distinguished by the # of scales or absence of the chin lobe. Compared to B. sacratus, B. petitjeani has less scales above the lateral line and a bit longer last simple dorsal-fin ray.
