Etymology: Tylochromis: Greek, tylos = callus + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335); leonensis: Named in reference to the country in which specimens of the species were first identified (Ref. 52346).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / intervalo de profundidade / distribution range
Ecologia
; Água doce bentopelágico. Tropical; 24°C - 26°C (Ref. 12468); 10°N - 4°N
Africa: coastal rivers from the Kogon (Guinea) to the Bia (Sierra Leone) (Ref. 53405).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 21.9 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 53405)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 13 - 15; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 13 - 16; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais moles: 7; Vértebras: 28. Diagnosis: 2 scale rows between upper lateral line and anterior part of lower lateral line (Ref. 52346, 53405). High lateral line count (38-42); low gill raker count (13-15 along lower limb of first arch); lower pharyngeal jaw with a short, deep keel that is deeply indented along the ventral margin (Ref. 52346).
Appears to be an exclusively Upper Guinean Province species (Ref. 52346). Inhabits large sandbanks and hardly ever penetrates into small streams (Ref. 53407). Benthic macrophage (Ref. 52346). Feeds primarily upon insects and their larvae, but also accepts plants (Ref. 52307). Oviphilous (Ref. 53407), maternal mouthbrooder that does not pair bond (Ref. 52307).
