Intermediate habitat at the extreme northern end
of Lake Malawi.
Geographic distribution:
Near Ikombe, northern Lake Malawi.
Sexual dimorphism:
Males exhibit three small blotches on the body.
Special notes:
Only a single male has been observed. The nearest
known population of Otopharynx heterodon,
at Lumbila, shows large blotches; due to this
difference the Ikombe form is treated separately
as Otopharynx sp. ‘heterodon ikombe’.
