Pundamilia

Pundamilia is a small genus of haplochromine cichlids endemic to East Africa, primarily in Lake Victoria. FishBase includes them in Haplochromis while the IUCN treats them as distinct. The generic epithet comes from Swahili punda milia ("zebra") after their striped appearance.

At present, only four species are placed here:

  • Pundamilia igneopinis
  • Pundamilia macrocephala
  • Pundamilia nyererei
  • Pundamilia pundamilia

Some authors also place Haplochromis azureus here.
