Name

Ptyochromis Greenwood, 1980: 60

  • Original type species: Ctenochromis sauvagei Pfeffer, 1896
    • Type by original designation
  • Current type species: Haplochromis (Ptyochromis) fischeri Seegers, 2008
    • Type fixed by subsequent designation of Seegers, 2008 who found that C. sauvagei Pfeffer did not represent the species previously believed
  • Synonymy
    • Treated as synonym of Haplochromis by van Oijen, 1996
    • Treated as subgenus of Haplochromis by Seegers, 2008: 186
    • Treated as valid genus by Poll & Gosse, 1995: 281
