Clarias monsembulai is a species of clariid catfish from the Congo Basin. It was named in honor of Raoul Monsembula Iyaba, a biology professor at the University of Kinshasa for collecting the type sample specimens and his contribution towards central African ichthyology. It has been described from a few rivers, namely Luilaka and Salonga, all near Salonga National Park.[1]
