froebelii, Amphilophus Agassiz [L.] 1859:408 [Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History v. 6 (1856-1859); ref. 74] Holotype (unique): MCZ (missing). Entire description consists of, "The last [genus] he called Amphilophus Froebelii, which is peculiar in not having the ordinary fleshy lips, but a large triangular lobe projecting above the upper and below the lower jaw, like the nasal appendages of some bats." Typically this could be regarded as not available, no distinguishing features provided; from Lake Nicaragua. Instead, it can be regarded as an unused senior synonym and rejected on that basis. •In the synonymy of Cichlasoma labiatum (Günther 1864) -- (Conkel 1993:85 [ref. 22949]). •Treated as available by Kullander & Hartel 1997:199 [ref. 22732] and probably the same as [the younger] Amphilophus labiatus (Günther 1864) -- (Kullander in Reis et al. 2003:610 [ref. 27061], Stauffer & McKaye 2002:1 [ref. 27240]). Cichlidae: Cichlinae. Habitat: freshwater.
