Limnochromis staneri is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika where it occurs in the southern portion of the lake. This species can reach a length of 19 centimetres (7.5 in) TL.[2] The specific name honours the Belgian colonial administrator P. Staner who provided translations for the Belgian Hydrobiological Mission to Lake Tanganyika (1946-1947), on which type was collected.[3]
