Etymology:
Haplochromis:
Greek, Haploos = single + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref.
45335
)
;
labiatus:
Origin of specific name not explained in original description, adjective derived from the Latin noun 'labium', lip, referring to the lobed lips of this species (Ref.
126507
)
.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic. Tropical; 0° - 1°S
Africa: Lake Edward system, only known from Lake Edward (Ref.
126507
). Also reported from Lake George (Ref.
4983
), but its morphology suggests that it belongs to a more generalistic species (Ref.
126507
).

Haplochromis labiatus
differs from all known species of
Haplochromis
from the Lake Edward system by a combination of a blunt snout, retro- to isognathous jaws, deep lower jaw with blunt teeth, and lobed lips (Ref.
126507
). It can be confused with
H. lobatus
as both have lobed lips, a small gape, a curved upper jaw with a relatively long premexillary pedicel, 78.7-111.4% of upper jaw length, stout and unicuspid outer teeth that strongly decrease in size, and a lower jaw set anteriorly with procumbently implanted outer teeth on the anterior margin of the lower jaw, 40-60° to vertical; it differs from this species by a straight to convex vs. straight to concave head, and a blunt and more broad snout vs. elongated and slender snout; it differs further in its trophic morphology: lower jaw slightly shorter, 27.7-34.3% of head length vs. 31.2-40.7%, and more broa, 71.4-92.4% of lower jaw length vs. 48.5-70.5%, jaws iso- to retrognathous vs. iso- to strongly prognathous, and anteriormost outer teeth in lower jaw more closely set, 0-1 vs. 1-2 outer tooth widths between adjacent teeth, and with shorter major cusps (Ref.
126507
).
Haplochromis labiatus
resembles
H. paucidens
from Lake Kivu by a blunt head, lobed lips, and insectivorous diet; it differs by a shallower lacrimal and a larger eye, lacrimal depth 36.3-50.9% of eye diameter vs. 51.7-62.4%, and a slightly broader head, 46.1-51.0% of head length vs. 43.9-47.1%; it further differs by mainly unicuspid vs. bicuspid outer teeth with stouter major cusps and mainly unicuspid vs. tricuspid inner teeth; no notable difference in dominant male colouration has been observed but a piebald colouration is seemingly absent in
H. labiatus
, while it is frequently observed in
H. paucidens
(Ref.
126507
).
Haplochromis labiatus
resembles superficially
H. chilotes
from Lake Victoria by lobed lips but differs by a blunt vs. acute snout and a larger eye, eye diameter 31.0-36.9% of head length vs. 21.8-28.6% (Ref.
126507
).
Diet insectivorous (Ref.
126507
).
