11-Jun-2018 — Diagnoses for all Laetacara species published
By Juan Miguel Artigas Azas

A paper by the Brazilian ichthyologist Felipe P. Ottoni has been recently published in the journal Vertebrate Zoology presenting comprehensive diagnoses for all the species of the south American cichlid genus Laetacara. Diagnoses are based on characters included in their original descriptions as well as additional observed data. A key for their identification is also included, as well as updated distribution ranges for each one of them.
