Abstract A second species of Cyphotilapia (Cichlidae) is described from Lake Tanganyika. The new species is clearly distinct from Cyphotilapia frontosa in having three scale rows between the upper and lower lateral lines at center of body (vs two rows in C. frontosa). Furthermore, a greater number of scales on the longitudinal line (34–36 vs 33–35), fewer outer teeth on the upper jaw (31–52 vs 39–62), higher body (43.3–51.2% SL vs 38.2–46.5%), longer predorsal (37.5–44.9% SL vs 37.1–42.7% SL… Expand

Description of a new Lake Tanganyikan cichlid fish of the genus Cyprichromis(Perciformes: Cichlidae) with a note on sexual dimorphism
TLDR
Cyprichromis coloratus, a new cichlid species, is described based on 41 type specimens from the Zambian coast of Lake Tanganyika and exhibits sexual dimorphism, females having a larger head and males having longer pelvic fin, differences which are discussed in relation to reproductive behaviour. Expand
Description of a new cichlid fish species of the genus Benthochromis (Perciformes: Cichlidae) from Lake Tanganyika
TLDR
Large males of the new species differ from those of congeneric species in terms of their body colour pattern and long pelvic fins. Expand
Systematic revision of the formerly monotypic genus Tanganikallabes (Siluriformes: Clariidae)
The monotypic genus Tanganikallabes, endemic to Lake Tanganyika, is a poorly known member of the family Clariidae. Examination of 142 specimens housed in museum collections has revealed the presence… Expand
Taxonomic status of the six-band morph of Cyphotilapia frontosa (Perciformes: Cichlidae) from Lake Tanganyika, Africa
TLDR
Six- and seven-band morphs have been identified in a cichlid, Cyphotilapia frontosa, that is endemic to Lake Tanganyika, and because all characters largely overlapped between these morphs, they are regarded as conspecific. Expand
Function of nuchal humps of a cichlid fish from Lake Tanganyika: inferences from morphological data
TLDR
The present morphological analyses do not contradict the hypotheses that C. gibberosa individuals recognise conspecifics and their sex from the shapes of the nuchal humps, and that females prefer males with larger humps. Expand
The taxonomic diversity of the cichlid fish fauna of ancient Lake Tanganyika, East Africa
TLDR
The taxonomic inventory of the cichlid fauna of Lake Tanganyika presented here will facilitate future research on the taxonomy and systematics and the ecology and evolution of the species flock, as well as its conservation. Expand

TLDR
The importance of identification for both fishery-biology, ecology and other biological research has been the main reason for writing this paper which introduces the techniques applied in the taxonomy of the haplochromine Cichlidae from Lake Victoria. Expand
