A morphological phylogenetic analysis of Middle American cichlids with special emphasis on the section ‘Nandopsis’ sensu Regan
Miscellaneous Publications, Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, 198:37 Sep-2007
" A morphological phylogenetic analysis is presented for 41 Neotropical cichlids. Two South American species, Cichla ocellaris and Crenicichla saxatilis, are outgroups. Most of the ingroup taxa are Middle American (Central American + Mexican + Greater Antillean) with emphasis on the 20 species Regan placed in the informal Cichlasoma section ‘Nandopsis.’ At the generic level, a strict consensus phylogeny of four most parsimonious trees recovers monophyletic Nandopsis, Vieja, Tomocichla, Archocentrus and Thorichthys. The 20 species of the section ‘Nandopsis’ did not form a clade "
