Abstract:
Scriptaphyosemion wieseae, new species, is described from collections in northern Sierra Leone. Results of a
small DNA study indicate, that S. bertholdi from the southeastern part of the country is the closest relative. Both species
can be distinguished by male and female color pattern and male caudal fin shape.
