Issue
This species is placed in the genus Pyxichromis Greenwood, 1980 in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. Mar. 2011: Ref. 86697). We keep all the lacustrine and riverine "Haplochromine" species of the Lake Victoria catchment in the genus Haplochromis Hilgendorf ,1888 following Van Oijen et al. (1996: Ref. 12750), until a new complete taxonomic revision is published.
