Épines dorsales (Total) : 17 - 19; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8 - 9; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 7 - 8. Nanochromis teugelsi is characterized by the absence of scales on nape, cheeks, and chest, but is has a fully scaled opercle (Ref. 57723). It has an elevated upper lateral line, with about half or more contiguous with the dorsal-fin base; it has 15-23 upper lateral-line scales and 4-8 lower lateral-line scales (Ref. 57723). It is also characterized by the absence of a supraneural bone (Ref. 57723).
