Eponymy: These species are named after both Lake Turkana, Kenya, and the Turkana people, who are the predominant tribe in that area. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Kunci identifiaksi (pengenalan) | Morfologi | Morfometrik
Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)) : 1; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 6; Sirip dubur lunak: 10 - 11. Tooth bands of the premaxillae forming a broad arc of uniform width with squared ends and a shallow notch anteromedially (Ref. 78586). Prevomerine tooth patches separated at the midline and accessory tooth plates narrowing posteriorly to a sharp point along a smooth curve (Ref. 78586). Postcleithral process well developed and projecting sharply posteriad (Ref. 78586). Horizontal eye diameter contained 2.7-3.1 times in head length and interorbital width contained 3.8-7.7 times in head length (Ref. 78586).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Demersal during the day; locally abundant between 10 and 25 m depth zones; migrates closer to shore at dusk to feed on chironomid larvae and ostracods; onset of maturity at rather small size (60-70 mm) and extended reproductive period (Ref. 78586).
