Type species: Paraneetroplus bulleri Regan, 1905
Distinctive characters: Stawikowski and Werner (1987) describe this genus as very distinct from Tomocichla sieboldii and the heroine cichlids from México. Paraneetroplus are colorful cichlids that can reach 20 cm standard length and more. Stawikowski and Werner (1987) characterize the genus and delimitate it from Theraps as following:
Species currently included:
| Paraneetroplus bulleri | C |
Paraneetroplus gibbiceps |
C, H(Arroyo Cristal) |
Paraneetroplus omonti |
C |
Paraneetroplus nebulifer |
C, A(Rediscovery) |
| C=CRC Catalogue, H=Habitat description |
Distribution: This genus has a very restricted distribution: Atlantic versant of South México; from the Rio Papaloapán basin (P. nebuliferus), over the Rio Coatzacoalcos drainage (P. bulleri) to the Rio Grijalva system (P. gibbiceps).
Further information: Miller (2005) assign all species of this genus to Theraps. Furthermore, he considers P. omonti as a synonym to P. gibbiceps.
