63491FundulopanchaxkamdemiAkum, Sonnenberg, Van der Zee & Wildekamp, 2007NothobranchiidaeAfrican rivulinesCyprinodontiformesTeleosteiAfrica: Cameroon. <i>Fundulopanchax kamdemi</i> is known from a limited number of localities, all within the Korup National Park. It was mentioned as Aphyosemion sp. 01 (cf. A. cameronense) in McGregor Reid (1989)from the Akpa-Yafe River and the upper Ndian River, in southern Korup only. This was confirmed by comparing the specimens, deposited by Kamdem Toham, as Aphyosemion sp. (KORUP 01) in the collection of the Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren, Belgium. He found them in the swampy parts that edge the small creeks under the cover of the forest in the southern Korup close to the Science camp (Kamdem Toham, 1992). Additionally the three collection localities, studied by the first author, confirmed the presence of the new species in the southern part of the Park only. Presence in the adjacent Oban National Park at the Nigerian side of the border may be possible but could not be confirmed as no collections of cyprinodontiform fishes are known from there. Other cyprinodontiform species found in sympatry with <i>F. kamdemi</i> are <i>F. marmoratus</i>, <i>Epiplatys infrafasciatus</i> (Günther, 1866) (= <i>E. sexfasciatus</i> in McGregor Reid, 1989 and Kamdem Toham, 1992), <i>Aphyosemion (Chromaphyosemion) bivittatum</i>, <i>A. calliurum</i> and <i>Aplocheilichthys spilauchen</i>. All have a larger distribution and are also known from localities outside the park.P A2003.0002A2003.00035 N8 EFundulopanchax kamdemiP A2003.00015 N8 EFundulopanchax kamdemiP 92144.038492144.03865 N8 EFundulopanchax kamdemi
