Abstract

The Aphyosemion calliurum species group is poorly diagnosed by chromatic and meristic characteristics leading various authors to propose different species as members. We used partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene to characterize all species that have been at one time or another included in the A. calliurum species group. Results obtained allowed a clear definition of the group which is composed of 10 species: A. ahli, A. australe, A. calliurum, A. celiae, A. edeanum, A. franzwerneri, A. heinemanni, A. lividum, A. pascheni, and a herein newly described species A. campomaanense. This new species is described from 26 specimens captured in small streams of the Campo-Ma’an region within the Ntem River basin of southern Cameroon. A. campomaanense n. sp. is distinguished from all the other species of the A. calliurum species group, and above all from A. ahli, by asymmetric coloration of the caudal fin with a yellow lower margin and a white upper margin, and a body with a dark blue background against which red spots are arrayed in horizontal rows towards the head merging into vertical rows posteriorly. This species is also genetically distinguished from the other species of the A. calliurum species group by its mitochondrial genome and its karyotype, characterized by an unusually high number of chromosomes and arms (2n= 44, NF=58).

Two new species of 𝑀𝑒𝑠𝑜𝑎𝑝ℎ𝑦𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑜𝑛 and one new species from the '𝐴𝑝ℎ𝑦𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑜𝑛' ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑧𝑜𝑔𝑖 species group are described for mainland Equatorial Guinea.

Based on mtDNA, the new '𝐴𝑝ℎ𝑦𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑜𝑛' from the Mitemele river basin, in southwestern mainland Equatorial Guinea, is a basal species to the rest of the species studied. It is distinguished from the two described congeners, '𝐴.' 𝑏𝑜𝑐ℎ𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑖 and '𝐴.' ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑧𝑜𝑔𝑖 by a combination of diagnostic color characters. The unpaired fins and flanks have a green background and the caudal peduncle is usually yellow to gold with irregular dark red bars. The species group '𝐴𝑝ℎ𝑦𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑜𝑛' ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑧𝑜𝑔𝑖 has a similar distribution to 𝑀𝑒𝑠𝑜𝑎𝑝ℎ𝑦𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑜𝑛, but with its northern limit in southern Cameroon.

Genetic data indicate that the group of species contains several more species, which are genetically and by color pattern well defined, and which have not been formally described.
