Trichromis salvini? I like that, it sounds more mean than cichlasoma. Trichromis, parachromis! Wasn't there a fish that was going to be added to parachromis?

I haven't found the full paper. Have they actually designated species to the genera yet? CA cichlids are not my thing but it would be nice to finally clear out the whole exCichlasoma group.

I'm a member of the host site for that paper. It's $14 to get access to the full paper.
