Procatopus websteri: A New Species of Lampeye Killifish from Akaka Camp, Western Gabon (Teloestei: Poecillidae: Aplocheilichthyinae), Exhibiting Similarities of Pattern and Morphology with Another Sympatric Lampeye Species, Aplocheilichthys spilauchen.Abstract
A new species of lampeye killifish Procatopus websteri is described from Akaka Camp, western Gabon. It is readily distinguished from all other lampeye species (subfamily Aplocheilichthyinae) by the unique character of an advanced insertion of the dorsal fin relative to the insertion of the anal fin in both sexes. The new species exhibits similarities in color and morphology with another sympatric lampeye species Aplocheilichthys spilauchen, but the resemblance is superficial and the two species are easily separated by the shape of the fins in male, the size, the color background in male, and the type of pigments; in addition, the new species shares several other morphological characteristics with members of the genus Procatopus sensu lato, dominant in the coastal plain and foothills of plateau from Senegal to Cabinda (Angola).
