''Lepidiolamprologus'' is a small genus of cichlids endemic to Lake Tanganyika in eastern Africa. It is closely related to ''Altolamprologus'' and there is the possibility that a revision of the genus could see more species added.〔 The placement of ''L. cunningtoni'' has been questioned as it seems to be a close relative of ''N. modestus'' and the Fourspine Cichlid (''N. tetracanthus''), though with hybridization running rampant in the Lamprologini one cannot entirely be sure of its relationships at present. However it differs enough from the other species in ''Lepidiolamprologus'' to conclude that it may not belong in this genus.〔 (2007): Phylogenetic relationships of the Lake Tanganyika cichlid tribe Lamprologini: The story from mitochondrial DNA.
