The rock-dwelling cichlids from Lake Malaŵi, known as mbuna, comprise a diverse group of haplochromine fishes that are placed among 14 genera. Within the mbuna, Pseudotropheus is a polyphyletic genus, which has served as a catch-all for many of these fishes. Recently, many of the species-groups within Pseudotropheus have been elevated to separate genera. Herein, we describe an elongate form that was originally placed in the Pseudotropheus elongatus species group but is now described as a member of Metriaclima.
马拉维湖岩栖慈鲷，俗称 mbuna，由一群多样化的半口慈鲷组成，分属于 14 个属。在 mbuna 中，假唇脂鲤属是一个多系群属，其中包含了许多此类鱼类。最近，许多假唇脂鲤属内的物种群已被提升为独立的属。本文描述了一种原本被归入假唇脂鲤属 elongatus 物种群的拉长型鱼类，现被归入中大型马鲷属 Metriaclima。
