). This feature is unique within Nothobranchiinae, and is especially pronounced in adult males. It means that specimens can change from pale sides with clearly visible parallel black stripes within seconds into extremely colorful specimens (Figs. 1-2) and back. To some extent this can also include fin coloration and also is seen in females.

assumes that male coloration might be important in mate choice of females in nothobranchiid fishes. For this reason it may be particularly useful for taxonomic purposes because the species diagnosis would be based on the same characters which females use to distinguish between con- and heterospecific males.

Here I present a molecular phylogeny based on a preliminary mtDNA analysis of this genus including all currently described species and most undescribed forms. I used this phylogeny based on molecular data in order to recognize the diagnostic value of (color) characters, especially for closely related species, and review some of the taxonomic conclusions of recent publications (
