Abstract
A fish fonnerly considered a southem variant of Cichlasoma friedrichsthalii is described as new. The species inhabits Atlantic versant drainages from the Río Negro, Honduras to coastal drainages of western Panama and Pacific-slope drainages of Nicaragua. Mature Cichlasoma loisellei are distinguished by the broad lateral stripe from the vertical-barred C. friedrichsthalii. The latter is known from Belize, Guatemala and southern Mexico.References
