A medium-sized cave-dwelling haplochromine also known as Otopharynx King Cave with relatively deep body with greatest body depth at base of eighth or ninth dorsal spine. Otopharynx Spelaeotes has a larger eye than most other Otopharynx species, and it has fewer lateral-line scales than Otopharynx Argyrosoma. It differs from Otopharynx Lithobates by having more teeth in the outer row of the left lower jaw, fewer gill rakerson the ceratobranchial and by the male breeding coloration that includes yellow/orange ocelli on the anal fin and a blue/black dorsal fin with a very narrow white margin with orange/red lappets. It is distinguished from Otopharynx antron by a larger horizontal eye diameter, a shallower caudal peduncle, and more teeth in the outer row of the left lower jaw.
