Pseudosimochromis curvifrons is a species of mouthbrooding cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika. It is found in areas with rubble substrates at depths less than 10 m (33 ft). It can reach a length of 14 cm (5.5 in). This species can be found in the aquarium trade.[2]

Although Pseudosimochromis has been treated as monotypic, recent authorities have also included several species formerly in Simochromis.[3]
