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]
