Morphological characters of †Warilochromis unicuspidatus gen. et sp. nov. and of all modern species of the tribes of the Lake Tanganyika Radiation and three further tribes of the Pseudocrenilabrinae in which the character combination single supraneural + exclusive unicuspid oral dentition (as seen in the fossil) can occur. Abbreviations: Vt, total number of vertebrae; VtPtLDs, ordinal number (s) of vertebrae associated with the pterygiophore of the last dorsal fin spine; scales, predominant scale type on flanks; #Sn, number of supraneural bones; teeth, inner and outer row teeth of oral dentition coded as follows: 1 = unicuspid, 2 = bicuspid, 3 = tricuspid, and underlining is used to indicate that exclusively unicuspid dentition is present in some species; #Lt, number of lateral-line tubules on the lacrimal; #LL, number of lateral-line segments on the body; Hyp 1–4, configuration of the hypural plates coded as follows: A = hyp 1 + 2, 3 + 4; B = hyp 1 + 2, 3, 4; C = hyp 1, 2, 3 + 4; D = hyp 1, 2, 3, 4.
