"description": "During a survey of the fishes in the region of the Wonga-Wongu\u00e9 Presidential Reserve, 14\u00a0new populations of the subgenus Chromaphyosemion Myers, 1924 were found. These observations extend the previously known distribution range of the subgenus 120 kilometres southward. None of these populations could be related to any described species. Based on the colouration of the males and females, together with a genetic marker (mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b sequences), the populations studied are grouped into six new species which are described in this article, all close to Aphyosemion alpha Huber, 1998 with which they share the presence of a black alpha-shaped mark on the pre- and post-opercular region. The group composed of A.\u00a0alpha and the six new species is referred to here as the A.\u00a0alpha species group. All the new species, A. aurantiacum Chirio, Legros\u00a0& Agn\u00e8se sp.\u00a0nov., A.\u00a0barakoniense Chirio, Legros\u00a0& Agn\u00e8se sp.\u00a0nov., A. flammulatum Chirio, Legros\u00a0& Agn\u00e8se sp.\u00a0nov., A. flavocyaneum Chirio, Legros\u00a0& Agn\u00e8se sp.\u00a0nov., A. pusillum Chirio, Legros\u00a0& Agn\u00e8se sp.\u00a0nov. and A.\u00a0rubrogaster Chirio, Legros\u00a0& Agn\u00e8se sp.\u00a0nov., are further unambiguously diagnosed by unique combinations of colour patterns, making it possible to generate an identification key for the A.\u00a0alpha species group. It is likely that the coastal dunes of Wonga-Wongu\u00e9 that form a sandy relief, could have led to the fragmentation and then isolation of the hydrographical networks that flow into the Atlantic Ocean, making possible a significant number of allopatric speciations.",
