Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 16 - 17; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 10 - 11; Radios blandos anales: 9. This species is distinguished by the following characters: lower jaw dentition is “Placidochromis-type,” with the outer series extending relatively straight toward the posterior end of the jaw; body rounded, snout short, eyes large eye which readily distinguished it from most other known oblique striped species; body depth >38% SL, no enlarged pharyngeal teeth which distinguish the species from its congeners except from M. semipalatus and M. melanonotus; snout length 0.9-1.2 x eye diameter (Ref. 137496).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Collected from shallow water in rocky habitats (Ref. 137496).
