Etymology: Benthochromis: Greek, benthos = depth of the sea + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335); horii: Named for M. Hori of Kyoto University, Japan, the first to identify this fish as an undescribed species (Ref. 74417).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
; Água doce bentopelágico, usually 60 - 126 m (Ref. 74417). Tropical

Descrição suscinta
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 17 - 19; Raios dorsais (total) : 11 - 13; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 9 - 11; Vértebras: 36 - 38. This species is distinguished by the following: eyes relatively small and snout relatively long (eye length usually shorter than snout length, 86.7-105% of snout length), number of dorsal fin rays relatively high (total number of spines and soft rays in dorsal fin usually 30 or 31). Large males (>117.2 mm LS) with long pelvic fin (>30% of standard length LS), a distinct pearl-grey longitudinal line through the upper end of the pectoral fin base, and without a black large blotch on nape (Ref. 74417).
Occurs at depths from 60 to 126 m (Ref. 74417).

Estimates based on models
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
