Etymology: Xenotilapia: Greek, xenos = strange + Bechuana, African native thiape = fish (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: There is no explicit etymology in Poll’s original, but the text indicates that this is a toponym referring to Burton Bay, Lake Tanganyika, where the species is endemic. The bay is named after Sir Richard Francis Burton (q.v.). (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
