Hemibates stenosoma is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika in East Africa. It is generally most numerous at depths between 80 and 200 m (260–660 ft), but performs a seasonal migration to inshore regions when it can occur as shallow as 20 m (65 ft).[1][2] It is predatory, feeding on fish and prawns,[2] and grows to a total length of 30 cm (1 ft).[3] This species was formerly regarded as the only formally described member of its genus.,[3] however, another species, Hemibates koningsi, which was formerly referred to as Hemibates sp. "stenosoma chituta" before its formal description.[4]
