(1998) and includes N. melanospilus (Pfeffer, 1896) , N. vosseleri Ahl, 1924 , N. interruptus Wildekamp & Berkenkamp, 1979 , N. jubbi Wildekamp & Berkenkamp, 1979 (males of this species have a white marginal band on the caudal fin, and in the blue morph the red on caudal fin is variable and in some specimens/populations is limited to spots (Seegers, 1997; Wildekamp, 2004); both conditions are considered to be apomorphies), and N. elongatus Wildekamp, 1982 .
