Proteocephalidean tapeworms parasitic in Synodontis spp. (Siluriformes: Mochokidae) in Africa are critically reviewed based on examination of their type specimens and extensive new material from Kenya and Sudan. Proteocephalus synodontis Woodland, 1925 and Proteocephalus membranacei Troncy, 1978 are considered to be valid and both species are redescribed. Proteocephalus largoproglottis Troncy, 1978 from Synodontis membranacea from Lake Chad is synonymized with P. membranacei described from the same host and locality.
