Etymology: Cynotilapia: Greek, kyon = dog + Bechuana, African native thiape = fish (Ref. 45335); chilundu: The name chilundu is derived from Chichewa meaning 'reef', and refers to the fact that the species is only found on a reef (Ref. 119465).

Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 17 - 19; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7 - 10; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 8. Diagnosis: The presence of widely spaced unicuspid teeth on both the upper and lower oral jaws and a moderately inclined vomer place this species in Cynotilapia (Ref. 119465). Cynotilapia chilundu is distinguished from C. afra, C. zebroides and C. aurifrons by its slender body with body depth 24.9-31.1% of standard length vs. 31.8-37.2% on the other three species (Ref. 119465). Male C. chilundu differ from those of C. axelrodi by the presence pf a black submarginal band in the dorsal fin which is absent in C. axelrodi; females of the latter species lack distinct bars on the flank and interorbital bars on the head, while both these characters are evident in female C. chilundu (Ref. 119465).
