Genus of fishes

Katria is a genus of freshwater fish in the cichlid family. It contains the single species Katria katria, a vulnerable species from the Mangoro and Nosivolo Rivers in east-central Madagascar,[1] that was formerly included in the genus Ptychochromoides.[2] The only other monotypic cichlid genus in Madagascar is Oxylapia, and it is restricted to the same region as Katria.[3] In 2010, the Nosivolo River was designated as a Ramsar Site.[4] The Katria reaches about 13 centimetres (5.1 in) in length.[5]
