The taxonomy of Amphilius species from east and southern Africa is reviewed. A gross misidentification of Amphilius platychir is exposed and corrected. A. grammatophorus is placed in synonymy with A. platychir. The name A. uranoscopus is recalled for the most common and widespread east and southern African Amphilius species. Distinguishing caracters of A. natalensis are identified and the species is shown to include the population of A. lampei from Zimbabwe. A new Amphilius species is recognised and described from the Buzi River in Mocambique
