Etymology: Placidochromis: Latin, placidus = of peaceful or tranquile appearance + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335); platyrhynchos: From the Greek "platus" = flat and "runchos" = snout, referring to the flattened snout (Ref. 55898).

Description synthétique
Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total): 15 - 16; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 8-10; Épines anales 3; Rayons mous anaux: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: differs from the other very elongate species (with body depth equal to or less than 31.0% SL) by its wide and horizontally flattened snout, greater body size (7.95-10.00cm versus 7.45 or less) and the absence of scales on the cheek; 6 vertical bars below the dorsal fin; snout 31.3-35.1 % head length; premaxillary pedicel 28.0-30.5 % head length; 3/2 or more inner tooth rows in oral jaws; lower jaw length 40.3-43.6% head length; head 36.3-38.3 %SL (Ref. 55898).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
