Meeting Abstract
A new species of African killifish is described from specimens collected in tributaries and creeks in Sinoe County, Liberia, West Africa during 2014. It possesses the throat and lower jaw morphology distinctive for the genus Epiplatys. The species is diagnosed by bright orange body coloration, yellow median fins, red spots on the median fins and trunk, and with faint chevrons along the posterior half of the body. A distinct patch of blue color appears on the cheek and the head extending from just behind the eye to just above the pectoral fins. The species has been known to the aquarium trade as “Orange Liberia” and was originally collected from a single locality in Lofa County near the border with Guinea.
