Etymology: Apistogramma: Greek, apisto = uncertain + Greek, gramma = graphic signal (Ref. 45335); cinilabra: The specific name is a compound adjective derived from Latin 'cinis', 'cineris' (ashes), and the derived adjective 'cinereus' (grey) and 'labrum' (lip), in reference to the fact that adult territorial males of this species regularly exhibit light ash-grey lips in aggression and during mating display, a unique distinguishing feature of this species within the genus.

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 14 - 16; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6-8; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 6 - 8. Distinguished from all its congeners by the combination of (in adult males) strikingly red base of pectoral, red spots on chest, (in aggression and display) light ash-grey lips, exceptionally short caudal peduncle, and disproportionately deep body (Ref. 86747).

Estimates of some properties based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months ().

Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
