. 1 Nothobranchius steinforti Type Locality 2 The collectors originally identified specimens of Nothobranchius melanospilus as Nothobranchius guentheri based on a paper from Bailey (1972) that turned out to be wrong. Today the species from mainland Tanzania is considered to be Nothobranchius melanospilus while Nothobranchius guentheri is restricted to the island of Zanzibar. 3 Nothobranchius melanospilus Type Locality 4 Nothobranchius janpapi and Nothobranchius lourensi Type Locality The Killifish Collections Project wishes to thank Kiril Kardashev, former editor of Nothobranchius Archives, for granting permission to use the article and photographs. . |
