Apisto groups/complexes

Can anyone help me with where I can find updated lists of Apisto species groups/complexes?

Sorry, I don't know what is going on with the topic heading. I've tried correcting it several times, but get ready for the fun keeps popping up somehow.

I guess you have to decide whose list you want!:biggrin: Römer's computer generated list, IMHO is an incomprehensible mess. My list from June 2008 is on Tom Christoffersen's site: http://apisto.sites.no/articles/Apisto-Species-List_June-08_Mike-Wise.pdf. It is now a bit dated since more species have been found/described since then. Some of the species-complexes have been changed slightly since the last published list. I've been working on updating my 2002 descriptions of species-groupings, including a tree to show how I think species-groups are interrelated. I am also working on an article on the history of apisto species-groupings from Meinken to the present. When done, I'll let people know where to find them. I am still sorting out my photos from my month in the Amazon. I need to make some slide programs. My fish are breeding and need feeding and a water change. It all takes time - more than I have right now.:biggrin:

Thanks Mike I for some reason totally forgot about Tom's site.

Mike, I am (and I think most of us are) looking forward to reading them.
