Abstract :
A new species of an annual killifish, Nothobranchius oestergaardi,
is described based on specimens collected from an ephemeral pool
in the swamps of the seasonal Mwawe River in the drainage
system of the Mweru Wantipa Lake basin, northern Zambia. The
new species belongs to the Nothobranchius taeniopygus species
group and is distinguished from the other members by a diagnostic
combination of male colouration and morphological characters.
