Note:
This species list, downloaded from Froese & Pauly, serves as a temporary deposit of those cichlids I have not yet been able to place in subfamilies or tribes. I have also placed the tribes here but without phylogenetic content outside them. Those interrested of the phylogeny of Cichlidae should check out the primary tree and the references within it.
