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).

Biología     Glosario (por ej. 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).
