Trematocara kufferathi is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika. This species can reach a length of 6.8 centimetres (2.7 in) TL.[2] This fish's specific name honours the Belgian chemist Jean Kufferath, who was a member of the Belgian Hydrobiological Mission to Lake Tanganyika in 1946 and 1947, during which type of this species was collected.[3]
