Hemichromis camerounensis

Hemichromis cf. camerounensis (Bitja-Nyom, Agnèse, Pariselle, Bilong-Bilong, Gilles & Snoeks) (Fig. 29, [LU]) Distribution. Lower Aberdeen Reservoir (GBIF.org, 2021; current survey); Upper Aberdeen Reservoir (current survey). Native range. Africa. Remarks. Identified as the newly described Hemichromis cf. camerounensis due to the presence of two red opercular spots accompanied by a large black spot, separating it from all other Hemichromis species (Bitja-Nyom et al., 2021). However, DNA barcoding of the cytochrome b gene is necessary to confirm its identity, as some populations of Hemichromis elongatus are known to have the same feature (Bitja-Nyom et al., 2021).
