The possession of the following characteristics place this species in Chindongo: 1) the presence of bicuspid teeth in the outer row of both upper and lower jaws; 2) a vomer without a bulbous rostral tip and angled 53°–68° with the parasphenoid; 3) small mouth with isognathic to slightly retrognathic jaws. Morphologically C. bellicosus is difficult to distinguish from most congenerics, but male and female color patterns provide usable distinctions between most of them. Chindongo bellicosus is characterized by 6–8 (usually 7) dark, vertical bars below the dorsal fin and is thus distinguished from C. demasoni (4 bars) and from C. saulosi (5 bars). It is further distinguished from the latter species by a shallower body (22.8–30.9% SL vs. 31.3–37.0% SL in C. saulosi). Female and juvenile male C. bellicosus have light beige to bluish ground color and are distinguished from those of C. saulosi and C. heteropictus which are entirely yellow, and from those of C. demasoni which are blue with black bars and from female C. socolofi which are light blue without bars. Chindongo bellicosus is distinguished from C. minutus by a larger number of gill rakers on the first ceratobranchial (10–13 vs. 7 in C. minutus) and by a shallower body (22.8–30.9% SL vs. 31.1–35.5% SL in C. minutus). Chindongo bellicosus can be distinguished from C. elongatus by its incomplete barring pattern that lacks bars on the posterior half of the flank and on the caudal peduncle while both male and female C. elongatus exhibit a bar pattern over the full length of the flank and caudal peduncle. Chindongo bellicosus can be distinguished from C. ater by its barring pattern which is still visible in very dark individuals while absent in male C. ater. Females of the latter species may sometimes show a few faint bars but their body coloration is blue, lacking any yellow pigment, while that of female C. bellicosus always contains yellow pigment. C. cyaneus is distinguished from C. bellicosus by the yellow cheek and breast which is black in male and gray to brown in female C. bellicosus. Male C. flavus differ from those of C. bellicosus by their bright yellow/mustard ground color, but females can have a similar coloration. Female C. bellicosus have on average a deeper cheek than those of C. flavus (25.6 % vs. 20.7 %HL), but the ranges are overlapping (21.6–30.9 % vs. 17.4–23.4 %HL). Male C. bellicosus are distinguished from those of C. longior by a black cheek and breast while this is fawn to gray-brown in C. longior. Female C. longior are fawn with distinct black margins in the dorsal and anal fins while similar-colored females of C. bellicosus lack such distinct black margins. Description. Morphometric and meristic data in Table 7. Elongate species (mean BD 27.6% SL; range 22.8– 30.9%SL) with greatest body depth at base of fifth or sixth dorsal-fin spine. Dorsal body profile with gradual downward curve to soft-rayed portion of dorsal fin then more steeply to posterior origin of dorsal fin, gradual taper to caudal fin; ventral body profile between pelvic and anal fins very flat with upward curve from anterior point of anal fin to caudal fin. Head profile straight between snout tip and interorbital area, the snout makes about 70° angle with body axis; dorsal head profile round to dorsal-fin origin. Small subterminal mouth with lower jaw slightly shorter than upper. Snout short with isognathic to retrognathic jaws; teeth in outer rows bicuspid anteriorly with small unicuspid teeth posteriorly in lower jaw and large unicuspids in upper jaw; teeth tricuspid in anterior inner rows, unicuspid in posterior rows. First dorsal-fin spine about one fourth length of last spine. Soft dorsal fin with subacuminate tip, third or fourth ray longest, reaching to base of caudal fin in male and female. Pectoral fin rounded, paddle-shaped. Pelvic fin with 1 spine and 5 rays. Anal fin with 3 spines progressively longer posteriorly; 7–9 rays with third or fourth longest, length reaching to base of caudal fin in both males and females. Caudal fin subtruncate to emarginate. Length of pelvic fin not to anal fin in females, to anterior base of anal fin in males. ……continued on the next page Flank scales large, ctenoid; abrupt difference to small cycloid scales on breast and belly; cheek with 3–6 (mode 4) rows of small scales. Dorsal fin and anal fin with narrow proximal margin of tiny scales; tiny scales from base to 3/4 length of caudal fin. Color notes and photos of live breeding adults (PSU 12582). Population at Zimbawe Rock (Fig. 10 B–C). Males in territorial color with blue/purple ground coloration and 4 distinct black bars on anterior half of flank. Caudal peduncle blue/purple; breast dark blue/dark gray; belly brown/ black. Head black; dark brown opercle with lighter edge. Anal fin black with 2–3 brown/yellow ocelli in posterior margin. Pectoral fin with black rays and clear membranes (Fig. 10 B). Female with light blue-gray or light brown ground coloration without distinct vertical bars; lateral scales brown with light blue center. Caudal peduncle brown; belly and breast white/gray. Head brown/gray; opercle with blue/green highlights; throat gray. Anal fin gray without ocelli or with very small yellow/orange spots. Pectoral fins with gray rays and clear membranes. Pelvic fin with first two membranes black/gray and white leading edge (Fig. 10 C). Population at Thumbi West Island (Fig. 10 D–E). Males in territorial color with similar color pattern as those around Zimbawe Rock, except with 4–6 distinct black bars on anterior half of flank (Fig. 10 D). Females with similar color pattern as those at Zimbawe Rock except with beige/blue or light brown ground coloration and 4–6 brown bars; lateral scales blue. Caudal peduncle beige/blue. Head beige with blue highlights; throat light brown. Anal fin proximally blue. (Fig. 10 E). Population at Mumbo Island (Fig. 10 F–G). Males in territorial color with similar color pattern as those at Zimbawe Rock, except with 6 distinct black bars on anterior part of flank (Fig. 10 F). Females with similar color pattern as those at Zimbawe Rock except 4–6 gray bars on the flank. Head brown with blue marks; opercle with light brown/yellow highlights; brown opercular spot (Fig. 10 G). Distribution. Chindongo bellicosus was collected from Zimbawe Rock, Thumbi West Island, and Mumbo Island, but the species likely has a wider distribution as Ribbink et al. (1983) found it all along the Nankumba Peninsula, as far south as Nkudzi, while Konings (2007) reports it from Nakantenga as well as Maleri Island. Etymology. Bellicosus is Latin for “warlike” or “fond of war” and refers to the aggressive behavior of the species (Ribbink et al. 1983).Published as part of Li, Shan, Konings, Adrianus F. & Stauffer, Jay R., 2016, A Revision of the Pseudotropheus elongatus species group (Teleostei: Cichlidae) With Description of a New Genus and Seven New Species, pp. 353-381 in Zootaxa 4168 (2) on pages 374-378, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4168.2.9, http://zenodo.org/record/26299

Metriaclima chrysomallos Stauffer, Bowers, Kellogg & McKaye 1997
No full textMetriaclima chrysomallos Stauffer, Bowers, Kellogg & McKaye 1997 Fig. 2 C&D Coloration. Lateral body coloration of breeding males from populations at type locality (Mumbo Island) and from Malaŵian east coast between Nsinje River and Makanjila Point light blue with gold highlights and 7–9 faint bars below dorsal fin, fading to white ventrally; breast orange fading to white at pelvic fin. Dorsal half of head, operculum, and cheek light blue; ventral portions orange/yellow; snout orange. Dorsal fin pale blue, posterior membranes orange distally. Caudal-fin rays orange with clear membranes. Anal-fin rays blue/gray with 2 orange ocelli. Distal portion of pelvic fin orange, remaining clear. Pectoral fin clear. Females brown/gray with light-blue highlights laterally; belly white. Head dark brown with blue/green highlights, gray/black opercular spot, and white gular. Dorsal fin brown. Caudal-fin rays brown and membranes clear. Anal-fin rays brown with clear membranes. Leading edge of pelvic fin white, rays brown; membranes clear. Pelvic fins clear. At Gome, lateral body coloration of breeding males light blue, with 7–9 faint bars below dorsal fin. Head light blue with gray highlights; interorbital area gray with 1 blue bar; gular white with yellow blotches. Dorsal fin gray proximally, fading to white distally. Caudal-fin rays clear with blue membranes. Anal-fin rays gray with light blue/ white membrane and 2 orange ocelli. Leading edge of pelvic fin white, rays clear; first 2 membranes gray, remaining clear. Pectoral fin clear. Females same as in other populations. Remarks. Morphometric and meristic data for Nametumbwe and Gome populations in Table 2. The absence of a black submarginal band in the dorsal, a lack of distinct vertical bars, and the light-brown colored females that have yellow fin-margins distinguish this species from most other Metriaclima, except M. benetos, M. glaucos new species, and M. mossambicus new species. Male M. chrysomallos from Mumbo Island and Nametumbwe are distinguished from those of the latter three species, except the Lumessi population of M. mossambicus, by a sky-blue nape and a yellow/orange ventral half of the head. Metriaclima chrysomallos is distinguished from males of the Lumessi population of M. mossambicus by a blue dorsal fin, which is yellow in latter species. Males of the Gome population of M. chrysomallos (which are all light blue and have a white-blue pectoral-fin base) are distinguished from those of M. glaucos and M. benetos and those of M. nkhunguensis by the absence of orange/yellow pigment in the base of the pectoral fin. In addition, males of M. benetos possess some degree of black pigment between the eyes and in the iris. On the basis of coloration, females of a number of species in the Aurora group are indistinguishable from each other, but those of M. aurora have fewer and broader bars below the dorsal (6 vs. 7–9) and those of M. glaucos generally have fewer teeth in the outer row of the lower left jaw compared to those of M. chrysomallos (mode 16, range 14–19, vs. mode 21 / 22, range 15–24). In the populations at Mumbo Island and Nametumbwe, males possess the orange coloration on the ventral portions of the head and breast to some extent. At Gome, Metriaclima chrysomallos males lack the orange coloration on the head, breast, and posterior portion of the dorsal fin and at Ntekete, south of the Nsinje River, all-blue males occur sympatrically with those with orange ventral heads and with those that have varying degrees of yellow coloration. The population of Metriaclima chrysomallos at Nametumbwe is similar in male color pattern to M. aurora from Likoma Island with the main difference being the number of vertical bars below the dorsal fin (7–9 vs. 6) and the yellow dorsal fin in M. aurora. In Figure 3 the Nametumbwe population of M. chrysomallos is compared to the nearest population of M. aurora (N’kolongwe) in a principal component analysis. The minimum polygon clusters formed by M. aurora and M. chrysomallos overlap, but are significantly (p<0.05; MANOVA) different. Size accounts for 81.7 % of the observed variance and the second principal component accounts for 5.4 %. Variables with the highest loadings on the sheared second principal components are snout length (- 0.40), caudal peduncle length (- 0.38), and lower jaw length (0.32). Snout length, expressed as percent head length, is generally larger in M. aurora from N’kolongwe (mean 27.3, range 23.7–29.9) compared to M. chrysomallos from Nametumbwe (mean 24.5, range 20.3–27.3). The first principal component of the meristic data accounts for 20.5 % of the total variance. Variables with the highest loadings on the first principal component are pored scales posterior to the lateral line (0.27), dorsal spines (0.24), and teeth rows on the lower jaw (0.24). Distribution. Stauffer et al. (1997) originally described this species from Mumbo Island, but it is also found between Makanjila Point (Malaŵi) and Meponda (Mozambique) in the southeastern portion of the lake (Fig. 1).

Cynotilapia chilundu Li, Konings & Stauffer, 2016, new species
No full textCynotilapia chilundu, new species Fig. 7 A–C Pseudotropheus sp. ‘ elongatus taiwan’, Konings 2001 Cynotilapia sp. ‘ elongatus taiwan’, Konings 2007 Holotype. PSU 12774, adult male, 82.9 mm SL, S 11°57.448’, E 34°35.298’, Taiwanee Reef, Lake Malaŵi, Malaŵi, Africa, 13Jan. 2008, A. F. Konings & J. R. Stauffer Jr.. Paratypes. PSU 12775, 24, (52.6 mm – 82.9 mm SL), same data as holotype. Diagnosis. The presence of widely spaced unicuspid teeth on both the upper and lower oral jaws and a moderately inclined vomer place this species in Cynotilapia. Cynotilapia chilundu is distinguished from C. afra, C. zebroides and C. aurifrons by its slender body with BD 24.9%–31.1% SL (mean 28.3%) vs. BD 31.8–37.2% SL (mean 34.9%) in the other three species. Male C. chilundu differ from those of C. axelrodi by the presence of a black submarginal band in the dorsal fin which is absent in C. axelrodi. Females of the latter species lack distinct bars on the flank and interorbital bars on the head, while both these characters are evident in female C. chilundu. Description. Morphometric and meristic data in Table 6. Vomer moderately inclined (38.4° in holotype). Elongate species (BD 22.6–28.5% SL) with greatest body depth at base of seventh or eighth dorsal-fin spine; ventral body profile between pelvic and anal fins flat with upward curve to caudal fin. Head profile slightly concave between snout tip and interorbital area, with 40–50° (42.6° in holotype) angle with body axis, then round to dorsal-fin origin. Snout short with thick, slightly prognathic lower jaw. First 5 dorsal-fin spines gradually longer posteriorly with first spine less than one third length of fifth spine. Soft dorsal fin with subacuminate tip, fourth ray longest, reaching to one third of caudal fin in males and slightly beyond caudal-fin base in females. Pectoral fin rounded, paddle-shaped. Anal fin with 3 spines progressively longer posteriorly; fourth ray longest, length to base of caudal fin in both male and female. Caudal fin subtruncate to emarginate. Flank scales ctenoid; small cycloid scales on breast and belly; cheek with 4–7 (mode 5) rows of small scales. Dorsal fin and anal fin with narrow proximal band of tiny scales; tiny scales on proximal 3/4 caudal fin. Color notes and photos of live breeding adults (PSU 12776). Males in territorial color with blue ground coloration and 5–6 distinct dark blue/black bars. Caudal peduncle dark blue; breast dark brown; belly light brown/white. Head black with 2 blue interorbital bars; throat black. Anal fin black/blue with 4–6 yellow ocelli; light blue leading margin. Pectoral fin rays gray with clear membranes. Pelvic fin black with blue leading edge; membranes dark gray (Fig. 7 B). Females’ ventral flank light brown; rest of body light blue with 4 light brown bars on flank, less pronounced posteriorly. Belly and breast white/beige. Head light brown with 2 faint light blue interorbital bars; throat light brown. Anal fin proximally 2/3 dark gray, remaining 1/3 light gray with 2–4 yellow/orange ocelli. Pectoral fin light gray with clear membranes (Fig. 7 C). Distribution. Cynotilapia chilundu is only known from Taiwanee Reef (S 11°57.448’, E 34°35.298’). Etymology. The name chilundu is derived from Chichewa meaning “reef”, and refers to the fact that the species is only found on a reef.Published as part of Li, Shan, Konings, Adrianus F. & Stauffer, Jay R., 2016, A Revision of the Pseudotropheus elongatus species group (Teleostei: Cichlidae) With Description of a New Genus and Seven New Species, pp. 353-381 in Zootaxa 4168 (2) on pages 370-372, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4168.2.9, http://zenodo.org/record/26299
