The neurocranium of H. macropsoides, identical with that of H. elegans, H. aeneocolor and H. nigripinnis, is of a generalized Haplochromis type. The lower pharyngeal bone (text-fig. 12) is moderately fine, with its dentigerous surface ca 1-2 times broader than long. The pharyngeal teeth are slender, com- pressed and cuspidate, and are arranged in ca 32-36 rows. Teeth in the two median rows are not noticeably coarser than their lateral congeners ; teeth situated in the posterolateral corners of the bone are more closely set than Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original British Museum (Natural History).
