“…Within the LVRS, oral shellers are hitherto only known from Lake Victoria where 23 species with this ecology have been recorded, eight of which are formally described (Greenwood, , ; Seehausen, ; Seehausen et al ., ; Seegers, ). These species are morphologically very diverse, which is exemplified by their classification in five ‘genera sensu Greenwood ()’, i.e ., ‘ Hoplotilapia ’ Hilgendorf 1888, ‘ Macropleurodus ’ Regan 1922, ‘ Paralabidochromis ’ Greenwood 1956, ‘ Platytaeniodus ’ Boulenger 1906 and ‘ Ptyochromis ’ Greenwood 1980 (Greenwood, ; Slootweg, ).…”
