Etymology: Neolamprologus: Greek, neos = new + Greek,lampros = torch + Greek, lagos = hare (Ref. 45335); chitamwebwai: Named after Deonatus Chitamwebwa, in gratitude for his excellent hospitality and assistance and because of his elongated shape and small body depth to length ratio that makes him stand out as it does with this species (Ref. 74422).
Eponymy: Deonatus Chitamwebwa is a Director of Tanzania Fisheries Research Institute (TAFIRI) and Officer-in-Charge of their Kigoma research station. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Highly stenotopic, restricted to rocky habitat; occurs in exposed parts of rocky shores, with large boulders (1-2 m in diameter) on a steep slope, with some sand in between the stones, and no bivalve shell accumulations or other rubble present; presence of sand is mandatory; water with high visibility and low sedimentation rates; most common at depth between 10 and 20 m; strong site fidelity and small home range; ingests sediment and spits it out through mouth (Ref. 74422).
