Fig. 4: Female of Apistogramma staecki n. sp. in breeding pattern. — Photo: I. Koslowski. Coloration (preserved specimens): Pale brownish, with dark brown to blackish or reddish markings. No distinct bars, except in posterior part of the body, leaving dark spots at dorsal-fin base in most specimens, sometimes forming a confluent band. Bar 5, bar 6 and frequently bar 4 split vertically along the middle. In some specimens bars pale reddish; this colour very distinct in freshly preserved specimens, but already faded to brownish during the month of studying the material. A narrow postorbital stripe continued in a narrow lateral band, V2—2/z scale deep. Lateral band not distinct in all specimens, most distinct up to where crossed by bar 3, where it is sometimes forming an indistinct small lateral spot. Lateral band not continuous posteriorly, sometimes somewhat intensified where crossed by bars. Moderately wide suborbital stripe, to edge of sub- and interoperculum, broadening posteroventrally. Superorbital stripe absent, only an inconspicuous dark area on forehead in some specimens. Preorbital stripe prominent. A small pectoral spot in upper edge of pectoral axilla. No distinct abdominal stripes developed, but some dark scale rims close to ventral midline. Pale midventral stripe in females, running half distance from vent to pelvic-fin base. Vent spot developed in all specimens. Caudal spot vertically extended, reddish to brownish, with an intensified central portion in most specimens. Dorsal fin.
