Andinoacara is a genus of fish in the family Cichlidae. The genus was described in 2009. [1] Before this the members of Andinoacara were placed in the " catch-all" genus Aequidens although they are not closely related to the other members of this genus. [1] The genus Andinoacara is restricted to freshwater habitats in northwestern South America ( Trinidad and the Orinoco Basin west to the Pacific coast of South America as far south as Peru) and southern Central America ( Costa Rica and Panama). There are no members of the genus in the Amazon Basin. [2]
Species
There are currently eight recognized species in this genus: [1] [2] [3]
- Andinoacara biseriatus (Regan, 1913)
- Andinoacara blombergi Wijkmark, S. O. Kullander & Barriga S., 2012 [4]
- Andinoacara coeruleopunctatus (Kner, 1863)
- Andinoacara latifrons (Steindachner, 1878) (Platinum acara)
- Andinoacara pulcher (Gill, 1858) (Blue acara)
- Andinoacara rivulatus (Gunther, 1860) (Green terror)
- Andinoacara sapayensis ( Regan, 1903) (Sapayo cichlid)
- Andinoacara stalsbergi Musilová, I. Schindler & Staeck, 2009 [5]
