Lepidiolamprologus
''Lepidiolamprologus'' is a small genus of cichlids endemic to Lake Tanganyika in eastern Africa. It is closely related to ''Altolamprologus.'' and there is the possibility that a revision of the genus could see more species added. The placement of '' L. cunningtoni'' has been questioned, as it seems to be a close relative of '' N. modestus'' and the Fourspine Cichlid (''N. tetracanthus''), though with hybridization running rampant in the Lamprologini, one cannot entirely be sure of its relationships at present. However it differs enough from the other species in ''Lepidiolamprologus'' to conclude that it may not belong in this genus.

Lepidiolamprologus Meeli
''Lepidiolamprologus meeli'' is a cichlid species in the subfamily Pseudocrenilabrinae. It is endemic to Lake Tanganyika, where it is found in the waters of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Zambia. It is sometimes placed in ''Neolamprologus'', and this may well be appropriate. As it seems, it belongs to a group also including '' N. boulengeri'' and '' L. hecqui'', '' L. attenuatus'' and '' L. kendalli''. Abstract Etymology This cichlid is named in honor of botanist Ludo van Meel (1908-1990), a member of the Belgian Hydrobiological Mission to Lake Tanganyika that took place between 1946 and 1947, during which the type specimen was collected. Hybrids As hybridization seems to have played a major role in the radiation of this group, the exact relationships of the present species are obscure; one specimens was found to belong to an mtDNA lineage quite similar to ''L./N. hecqui'', while another was distantly similar to ''L. kendalli'' in this regard.

George Albert Boulenger
George Albert Boulenger (19 October 1858 – 23 November 1937) was a Belgian-British zoologist who described and gave scientific names to over 2,000 new animal species, chiefly fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Boulenger was also an active botanist during the last 30 years of his life, especially in the study of roses. Life Boulenger was born in Brussels, Belgium, the only son of Gustave Boulenger, a Belgian public notary, and Juliette Piérart, from Valenciennes. He graduated in 1876 from the Free University of Brussels with a degree in natural sciences, and worked for a while at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, as an assistant naturalist studying amphibians, reptiles, and fishes. He also made frequent visits during this time to the ''Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle'' in Paris and the British Museum in London. In 1880, he was invited to work at the Natural History Museum, then a department of the British Museum, by Dr. Albert C. L. G. Günther a ...

Jacques Pellegrin
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 ...

Lamprologini
Lamprologini is a tribe of African cichlid fishes. It contains seven genera and nearly 100 species. Over half of the species in this tribe are in the large genus ''Neolamprologus''. Most genera in the tribe are endemic to Lake Tanganyika, but one species of ''Neolamprologus'' ('' N. devosi'') is from the Malagarasi River in Tanzania, and several species of ''Lamprologus'' are from the Congo River Basin. The species in this tribe are very small to medium-sized cichlids, but vary extensively in appearance and habitat preference.Smith, M.P. (1998). Lake Tanganyikan Cichlids, p. 10—11. Unlike most Tanganyika cichlids which are mouthbrooders, Lamprologini species are substrate spawners (typically using caves or rock crevices), and some are shell dwellers.
