Description of the Ethmovomerine Region in Tanganyikan Cichlid Fishes (Teleostei: Perciformes)

Tetsumi TAKAHASHl1),2)

Abstract

The ethmovomerine regions in all of the Tanganyikan cichlid genera are described for the purpose of proposing a basic morphological information, and classified into six types. Of these, the tylochromine, bathybatine, haplo­ chromine and oreochromine types were found in the , Tilapiini and Tylochromini; and Trematocarini; , Haplochromini, Limnochromini, Perissodini, Tilapiini and ; and Cypri­ chromini, Ectodini, , , Limnochromini and Tilapiini, respectively. The lepidiolam­ prologine and asprotilapiine types were interpreted as being synapomorphies of clades composed of the four Lamprologini and four Ectodini taxa examined, respectively.
