Hemichromis guttatus was considered as a junior synonym of H. bimaculatus by Boulenger (1907, 1915) and Pellegrin (1904), but was revalidated by Loiselle (1979, Ref. 43352).
|
| Etymology of generic noun |
Greek, hemis = half + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335).
|
| Etymology of specific epithet |
From the Latin guttatus, meaning 'speckled', apparently referring to the pattern of black dots in the cheek and opercular region of the type material (Ref. 43352).
