Short description
Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 16-18; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 16 - 19. Diagnosis: Nothobranchius itigiensis belongs to the N. ugandensis species group presenting the following combination of characters in males: body colouration light blue with red to red-brown scale margins; frontal part of head red-brown and throat light blue or red; caudal fin uniform red; anal-fin base light blue or yellow with red-brown spotted pattern (Ref. 123150). Nothobranchius itigiensis differs from all other members of the N. ugandensis species group by an anal fin yellow with red-brown spots proximally, that are merged medially to a pattern parallel to fin rays and may be fused distally to form a slender marginal band; caudal peduncle length 14.9-15.7% of standard length vs. 16.1-23.8%, and 96-103% of its depth vs. 111-157%; and head width 68-72% of its depth vs. 73-83% (Ref. 123150).
The type locality is an ephemeral pool formed in the marshy terrain drained by the Mlumbi and Kisigo streams; an extensive pool of about 50 m wide; the water was turbid, the bottom of the pool not visible (Ref. 123150).
