Haplochromis dichrourus is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Victoria, but has not been seen since 1986. This species grows to a length of 18.6 centimetres (7.3 in) SL.[2] It may be extinct, but is maintained as Critically Endangered by the IUCN in the small chance that a tiny –but currently unknown– population survives.[1]
