Tribe Limnochromini

The Limnochromini are restricted to deep-water habitats in Lake Tanganyika ( Meyer et al., 2015). This tribe includes, for now, nine endemic species ( Takahashi and Sota, 2016). Gnathochromis permaxillaris View in CoL is the only species karyotyped to date. The karyotype, 2n = 44 chromosomes, is characterized by the presence of a large acrocentric pair, twice bigger as other acrocentrics, a large submetacentric pair and four small metacentric chromosome pairs, as we described for Lamprologini .
