Etymology: Amphilophus: Greek, amphi = on both sides + Greek, lophos = crest (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Günther.

Issue
Systematics and biology covered by Barlow & Munsey (1976). Kullander & Hartel (1997:199) examined Agassiz' description of Amphilophus froebelii and searched in vain for type material. Villa (1976:381) added Cichlasoma dorsatum to the synonymy of A. labiatus. The name froebelii has never been used as a senior synonym of A. labiatus subsequent to its description.
