Etymology: Tylochromis: Greek, tylos = callus + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335);  mylodon: Named by Regan (1920) presumably in reference to the mill-like molariform pharyngeal dentition of this species (Ref. 52346).

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 13 - 14; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 14 - 15; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8; Vertebre: 28. Diagnosis: lateral line count of 38-43 scales; 16-17 closely packed gill-rakers along lower limb of first arch; extremely robust lower pharyngeal jaw with mill-like molariform teeth occupying at least 2/3 of dentigerous surface; third pore of mandibular laterosensory canal enlarged compared to size of preceding pores (Ref. 52346).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Benthic macrophage (Ref. 52346). Feeds mainly on insects and their larvae, but also (in small quantities) on crustaceans and molluscs (Ref. 52307). Maternal mouthbrooder (Ref. 52307, 52346) that does not pair bond (Ref. 52307). Marked intolerance to oxygen lack (Ref. 246).
