There is an excellent article in this latest issue of Eggspots by Mary Bailey on the Metriaclima/Maylandia debate which is quite insightful. Hopefully, it can help to put to rest this nagging problem.

Not so excellent. There are many errors and "forgeten" parts of the original description.
I'm really surprised because Mary seems to read French correctly... Not sure sure at all now...

Perhaps Mary would be able/willing to comment on the "forgotten parts" here on Cichlidae.com?
