Parananochromis orsorum Lamboj, 2014
26-wrz-2014 — Two new species of Parananochromis described
By Juan Miguel Artigas Azas
Two new species of Parananochromis, P. orsorum (Parananochromis sp. 'ntem') and P. elobatus (Parananochromis sp 'sanaga') from Cameroon have been described by Anton Lamboj, elevating the number of Parananochromis species to eight. Both P. elobatus and P. orsorum are distinguished from the rest of Parananochromis species by combinations of characters. The specific name elobatus (without lobes from Latin) was given in reference to the short lappets on the dorsal fin in this species. P. orsorum is described after Rose and Tony Orso (Vernon, USA), who helped the author import a number of new species of cichlids over the years.
