Etymology: Tylochromis: Greek, tylos = callus + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335); polylepis: Named by Boulenger (1900) presumably in reference to the species' numerous small scales and the resultant high lateral line formula (Ref. 52346). Polys= Greek for many, lepis= Latin for scale (Ref. 52307).
