Etymology: Cynotilapia: Greek, kyon = dog + Bechuana, African native thiape = fish (Ref. 45335); chilundu: The name chilundu is derived from Chichewa meaning 'reef', and refers to the fact that the species is only found on a reef (Ref. 119465).

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 17 - 19; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 7 - 10; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 7 - 8. Diagnosis: The presence of widely spaced unicuspid teeth on both the upper and lower oral jaws and a moderately inclined vomer place this species in Cynotilapia (Ref. 119465). Cynotilapia chilundu is distinguished from C. afra, C. zebroides and C. aurifrons by its slender body with body depth 24.9-31.1% of standard length vs. 31.8-37.2% on the other three species (Ref. 119465). Male C. chilundu differ from those of C. axelrodi by the presence pf a black submarginal band in the dorsal fin which is absent in C. axelrodi; females of the latter species lack distinct bars on the flank and interorbital bars on the head, while both these characters are evident in female C. chilundu (Ref. 119465).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
