A morphological phylogenetic analysis of Middle American cichlids with special emphasis on the section "Nandopsis" sensu Regan:

A morphological phylogenetic analysis is presented for 41 Neotropical cichlids. Two South American species, Cichla ocellaris and Crenicichla saxatilis, are outgroups. Most of the ingroup taxa are Middle American (Central American + Mexican + Greater Antillean) with emphasis on the 20 species Regan p...

Zusammenfassung:A morphological phylogenetic analysis is presented for 41 Neotropical cichlids. Two South American species, Cichla ocellaris and Crenicichla saxatilis, are outgroups. Most of the ingroup taxa are Middle American (Central American + Mexican + Greater Antillean) with emphasis on the 20 species Regan placed in the informal Cichlasoma section "Nandopsis." At the generic level, a strict consensus phylogeny of four most parsimonious trees recovers monophyletic Nandopsis, Vieja, Tomocichla, Archocentrus, and Thorichthys. The 20 species of the section "Nandopsis" did not form a clade.
