Head large (37.0-44.0% SL) (Ref. 81260), somewhat pointed (Ref. 52307). Mouth at an angle of about 50° with the horizontal (Ref. 53940). Lower jaw usually slightly projecting (Ref. 53940), long (33.0-39.0% HL) and steeply inclined (Ref. 81260). Mesethmoid free from vomer (Ref. 53940). Teeth in oral jaws very small (Ref. 53940, 81260) and in 2 series (Ref. 53940), inner row teeth minute tricuspids, outer row teeth small, often shouldered, conical or truncate unicuspids (Ref. 81260). Eye large (diameter 23.0-29.0% HL). Gill rakers short (Ref. 53940, 81260). Lower pharyngeal jaw markedly longer than wide, elongate ventral keel 3.5-5 times length of dentigerous surface (Ref. 81260); dentigerous surface restricted (Ref. 53940). Pharyngeal teeth very weak; scales cycloid, with concentric circuli; microbranchiospines present on second, third and fourth arches; pelvic fins reach anus or genital papilla (Ref. 53940).Coloration: body dark grey with a silvery to greenish flush in both sexes (Ref. 52307, 53940, 81260). Pelvic fins usually yellow; "tilapia"-mark absent (Ref. 53940, 81260). Courting males turn bluish-black to black with equally colored fins (Ref. 52307). Trewavas, E., J. Green and S.A.
