similis, P abberans and P.nototaemia species. Both Procatopus and Lamprichthys are called lampeyes in the aquarium hobby. Lamprichthys live only in Lake Tanganyika.
The species currently assigned temporarily to Lamprologus include: brevis, callipterus, calliurus, caudopunctatus, finalimas, leloupi (not leleupi!), multifasciatus, ocellatus, ornatipinnis, similis, speciosus, stappersi (meleagris) and wauthioni.
