Astatotilapia Latifasciata2
''Astatotilapia'' is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cichlidae found in Eastern and Northern Africa, with a single species, ''A. flaviijosephi'', in Western Asia (the only non-African haplochromine). Many species have been moved between this genus and ''Haplochromis'', and while some consensus has been reached in recent years, their mutual delimitation is still far from settled. Based on mtDNA, ''Astatotilapia'' as currently defined is polyphyletic.Genner; Ngatunga; Mzighani; Smith; and Turner (2015). Geographical ancestry of Lake Malawi’s cichlid fish diversity. Biol.

Jacques Pellegrin (12 June 1873, Paris – 12 August 1944) was a French zoologist. In Paris, he worked under zoologist Léon Vaillant (chair of reptiles and fishes) at the ''Muséum national d'histoire naturelle''. From 1897, Pellegrin served as ''préparateur'' at the museum. He obtained doctorates in medicine (1899) and science (1904), and in 1908 was named as an assistant director. After many missions abroad, he became sub-director of the museum in 1937, and replaced Louis Roule (1861–1942) as the chairperson of herpetology and ichthyology. He published over 600 scientific books and articles and discovered around 350 new species. He named a number of fishes from the family Cichlidae, such as the genera '' Astatoreochromis'', '' Astatotilapia'', '' Boulengerochromis'', ''Lepidiolamprologus'', ''Nanochromis'' and '' Ophthalmotilapia''. Taxa named in his honor He has the following species named in his honor: * The Clingfish '' Apletodon pellegrini'' * ''Enteromius pelle ...

Astatotilapia Desfontainii
''Astatotilapia desfontainii'' is a species of cichlid found in Algeria and Tunisia. It is found in freshwater spring, irrigated land, and canals and ditches.

Astatotilapia Stappersii
''Astatotilapia stappersii'' is a ray-finned fish species in the family Cichlidae. Adults measure about 15 cm (6 inches) in total length. It is erroneously listed twice in the IUCN Red List, once with a proper entry under its original name ''Haplochromis stappersii'', and once having become mixed up with the synonymy of the Striped Nothobranch (''Nothobranchius taeniopygus''). It is neither similar nor closely related to that toothcarp, however, apart from both being East African Acanthopterygii. FishBase places the present species in ''Astatotilapia''. ''A. stappersii'' is found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Zambia. It inhabits the drainage basin of Lake Tanganyika, except for the Malagarasi River region. Its natural habitats are slow-flowing rivers, swamps, small freshwater lakes and marshes, and inland deltas. It eats mainly aquatic insect larvae. Its stocks may be adversely affected by habitat destruction and water pollution, an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
