A new genus for Melanochromis labrosus, a problematic Lake Malawi cichlid with hypertrophied lips (Teleostei: Cichlidae)
Melanochromis labrosus is the only one of the 800 or so endemic cichlid species in Lake Malawi whose placement with mbuna or non-mbuna has been disputed on morphological grounds. Here, we redescribe M. labrosus using all obtainable specimens collected since its original description. In addition, we extensively survey vertebral counts in the mbuna. To determine if M. labrosus belongs with the mb...
متن کاملLepidiolamprologus kamambae, a new species of cichlid fish (Teleostei: Cichlidae) from Lake Tanganyika

متن کاملLake Tanganyika—A 'Melting Pot' of Ancient and Young Cichlid Lineages (Teleostei: Cichlidae)?
A long history of research focused on the East Africa cichlid radiations (EAR) revealed discrepancies between mtDNA and nuclear phylogenies, suggesting that interspecific hybridisation may have been significant during the radiation of these fishes. The approximately 250 cichlid species of Lake Tanganyika have their roots in a monophyletic African cichlid assemblage, but controversies remain abo...
