Etymology: Lates: Latin, lateo, latere = to be hidden.
Eponymy: Marie Horn, with her husband Adolf, collected fishes at Lake Tanganyika (1908). [There is also a mention of the brothers Adolf and Albin Horn visiting Tanganyika in 1913, but almost nothing else is recorded about them] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Africa: Lake Tanganyika (Ref. 2216, 36901); widely distributed throughout the lake (Ref. 36901). In the Lukuga River (Lake Tanganyika outflow), known up to Niemba (Ref. 93587). In the Malagarazi River, known from the delta and the lower reaches (Ref. 54847).

Juveniles live in a specific inshore habitat until they reach 18 cm, thereafter they adopt a benthic habitat moving into deep water (Ref. 2216). Juveniles have been observed near or in affluent rivers (Ref. 36901). Top predator in depths below 100 m; exploits both fishes and invertebrates; migrate diurnally to surface to feed on pelagic clupeids; highly susceptible to intensive fishing (Ref. 2216).
