Until the new collections in 2008, only pictu- res were available (Seegers 1997). Nothobmnchius neu- manni was diagnosed in Wildekamp (1990) by the straight dorsal profile and marked, angular transition between head and body along the dorsal profile. The dorsal profile is ho- wever variable within N. neumanni, so we did not use this character for diagnosing the species described here. Nothobmnchius neumanni appears to be restricted to the Bubu River drainage and the Bahi Swamps. There are in- dications that the remaining populations so far assigned to N. neumanni (namely from the areas of the Chipongo- la, Manyara, Tabora, and Lake Victoria) differ substanti- ally in terms of colouration, osteology, and genetics from the Bubu drainage and Bahi Swamp material (prelimina- ry data from A Dorn & A Cellerino, Jena, pers. comm.), and might be considered as valid species; this is howe
