Ptychochromoides is a genus of cichlids endemic to Madagascar. Of the three described species, two are critically endangered[1][2] and one was considered extinct until rediscovered in late 2010.[3]
Species

The genus formerly included Katria katria, which was moved to its own genus in 2006.[4] There are currently three recognized species in Ptychochromoides:[5]

Ptychochromoides betsileanus (Boulenger, 1899) (Trondo mainty)
Ptychochromoides itasy Sparks, 2004
Ptychochromoides vondrozo Sparks & Reinthal, 2001
