Abstract
Ptychochromoides itasy Sparks, 2004, known locally in Madagascar as the trondro mainty or marakely à bosse, a robust jet black cichlid with a pronounced nuchal hump in both sexes, had not been collected in the wild for several decades and was presumed to be extinct. Recently, a relict population of P. itasy was discovered in a tributary of the Tsiribihina River in the central highlands, to the west of the capital, Antananarivo. We report on the rediscovery, and present DNA sequence evidence to both confirm the identity of the species as a member of Ptychochromoides and to resolve the placement of P. itasy within the genus.
