I know that proper classification is a good thing, but as a non-biologist, rememorizing all the changes over the years gets old. This new list will never stick in my old brain!

Middle American cichlids have been subject to a long-overdue revision. We now have eight new genera of cichlids to learn, plus a heap of modifications to be aware of.
The revisions were published in 'Zootaxa' by the ichthyologist Caleb McMahon in August 2015, and used a mixture of morphological and DNA sequencing techniques to identify new classifications.
