Remark: This species is placed in the genus <i>Haplochromis</i> Hilgendorf, 1888 in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. Mar. 2012: Ref. 89686).  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.
