Synodontis multimaculatus, known as the dotted synodontis,[2] is a species of upside-down catfish that is native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo where it is found in the Ubangi River.[3] It was first described by British-Belgian zoologist George Albert Boulenger in 1902, from a specimen collected in the Ubangi River in Mobayi-Mbongo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[2] The species name multimaculatus is derived from the word multi, meaning many, and the Latin word maculatus, meaning spots, referring to the many spots on the fish.[2]
