Taxonomic Remarks
Specimens from Lake Albert may be another species; type locality is the White Nile in Sudan, below the rapids towards Lake Albert (T. Musschoot, pers. comm.). This species is placed in the genus Haplochromis Hilgendorf, 1888 in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. May 2011: Ref. 86870). We keep the lacustrine and riverine "Haplochromine" species in the genus Haplochromis only for the Lake Victoria catchment following Van Oijen et al. (1996: Ref. 12750), until a new complete taxonomic revision is published.
