Etymology: Labeotropheus: Latin, labeo = one who has large lips + Greek, tropaion = defeat, a memorial of a fighting war, trophy; because of their specialized teeth were such an obvious feeding adaptation (Ref. 45335); alticodia: The specific epithet combines the Latin adjective for deep or tall, alti, with a Latin word for head, specifically the head of a flower, codia, in reference to the striking head depth of this species (Ref. 128773).
