Remark: Specimens from Lake Albert may be another species; type locality is the White Nile in Sudan, below the rapids towards Lake Albert (T. Musschoot, pers. comm.). This species is placed in the genus <i>Haplochromis</i> Hilgendorf, 1888 in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. May 2011: Ref. 86870). We keep the lacustrine and riverine "Haplochromine" species in the genus <i>Haplochromis</i> only for the Lake Victoria catchment following Van Oijen <i>et al.</i> (1996: Ref. 12750), until a new complete taxonomic revision is published.
Comments: Found in both still and flowing waters (Ref. 52307).
