Soft dorsal and anal fins produced in adults, extending well over caudal fin in males (Ref. 52307, 81260). Caudal fin truncate and heavily scaled over base; 3.5-4 scales between upper lateral line and dorsal fin origin; lanceolate epibranchial rakers; tips of pelvic fins in males reach well beyond the spinous anal fin (Ref. 81260).Description: frontal profile straight; snout relatively short (Ref. 52307).Coloration: live color of specimens from Democratic Republic of Congo (vicinity of Kinshasa): base body coloration of pale yellowish gold with metallic green iridescent spotting on scales of cheek and anteroventral flank; well-developed supraorbital, interorbital and internasal stripes; opercular spot extremely well-developed, in mid-line series with a row of 6 black blotches and faint vertical stripes; a second row of smaller blotches in a diffuse horizontal band is frequently present between mid-line row and dorsal fin base; Pelmatochromis spot at base of first 5-6 dorsal rays extends down onto dorsum in females and juveniles, slightly less well marked in large males; dorsal, caudal and anal fins with rows of dark maculae, proximally in anal fin these are often deep red (Ref. 81260).
