List of the 46 valid species of Petrocephalus
Note: this list is similar to the list of Fishbase (Froese and Pauly 2013) but it differs from the list of "Catalog of Fishes" (Eschmeyer 2013) as it does not recognize Petrocephalus balteatus Rochebrune 1885 as a valid species (See Daget 2000 for justification) and Petrocephalus guttatus Fowler 1936 is considered belonging to the genus Pollimyrus (See Lavoué et al 2010 for justification).
