|
Astatoreochromis vanderhorsti is a species of fish in the family Cichlidae. It is found in Burundi and Tanzania. Its natural habitat is rivers. Although often recognized as a valid species, it is likely a synonym of A. straeleni.[2] The specific name honours the Dutch-South African zoologist Cornelius van der Horst (1889-1951).[3]
