Kurzbeschreibung
Morphologie | Morphometrie
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt): 17 - 19; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt): 6-10; Afterflossenstacheln 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 7 - 9. Diagnosis: The absence of a dark submarginal band in the dorsal fin distinguishes Petrotilapia xanthos from P. microgalana, P. genalutea, P. nigra, P. chrysos, P. mumboensis, and P. pyroscelos which have such a band (Ref. 87181). Adult males of P. xanthos are yellow, which distinguishes them from P. tridentiger, which are light blue with dark blue bars; they are also distinct from those of P. flaviventris, and P. palingnathos; males of P. flaviventris are yellow on ventral and mid flank with scales outlined in blue; the dorsal one-third is blue to gray with yellow and orange highlights; cheeks and throat yellow to orange; adult male, and female, P. palingnathos have distinctly retrognathous jaws and can thus be distinguished from those of P. xanthos (Ref. 87181). Females of P. xanthos are light brown, which distinguishes them from those of P. tridentiger, which are brown, from P. chrysos and P. microgalana, which are golden yellow, from those of P. flaviventris, which are yellow brown with interrupted black stripes and fading to dark brown dorsally; the melanin pattern in females of P. xanthos have both horizontal and vertical elements, which distinguishes them from those of P. chrysos, which lack a distinct melanin pattern and are completely yellow, and from P. microgalana and P. flaviventris, which have no vertical elements in their melanin pattern (Ref. 87181).
