Abstract
The relationship between the neotropical genus Cicld. and other members of the family Cichlidae is investigated. Anatomical data from a wide range of functional components are utilized to elucidate the phyletic relationships of the genus. Little evidence is found to support an hypothesis of a close phyletic link between Cichl. and any of the African Cichlidae investigated. Instead, it is suggested that the immediate relationships of Cichl. lie with another neotropical genus, Crenicichla.
