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 in a relatively straight line toward the posterior end of the jaw; dorsal body with a strong oblique stripe; differs from its congeners except M. anaphyrmus, M. mola, M. sphaerodon strongly molarized pharyngeal dentition; snout 33.4%-37.4% HL; body 39.1%-40.2% SL; head profile less steep 40° and an upwardly angled gape 40° (Ref. 137496).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Specimens were collected from rocky shores in shallow water by scuba divers (Ref. 137496).
