Aulonocara stonemani

Aulonocara stonemani is a species of haplochromine cichlid. It is endemic to the southeastern and southwestern arms of Lake Malawi.

Aulonocara stonemani is found in deep waters (55-80 m), over a substrate consisting of mud or sand with sediment layer. Its diet consists of feeds on small invertebrates sifted from the sediment. The maximum total length is 6 cm. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.

The specific name honours the Chief Fisheries Officer for Malawi, J. Stoneman, who helped ensure the success of the expedition the type was collected on.
