Zaireichthys dorae, the Chobe sand catlet, is a species of loach catfish endemic to Angola where it is only found in the Rio Luachimo. It reaches a length of 2.7 cm. The humeral process of the pectoral girdle is moderately long with poorly-developed or fine denticulations. The neural and hemal spines tend to be simple and slender. This species occurs over sand and is usually buried with just the eyes protruding.
