Neolamprologus devosi sp. n., a new species of riverine lamprologine cichlid is described from the lower Malagarasi River, Tanzania. The new species is tentatively placed within the poorly defined genus Neolamprologus, though generic reassignment may be necessary once ongoing work on the phylo-geny and classification of lamprologines is completed. Notably, Neolamprologus devosi sp. n. does not present characters diagnostic of Congo (ex-Zaire) River lamprologines, and contrary to previous suggestions appears to be phylogenetically distinct from those taxa. This raises questions regarding the number of putative riverine colonizations of lamprologines from a lacustrine source.
