''Neolamprologus meeli'' is a cichlid species in the subfamily Pseudocrenilabrinae. It is endemic to Lake Tanganyika, where it is found in the waters of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Zambia. It is sometimes placed in ''Lepidiolamprologus'', and this may well be appropriate. As it seems, it belongs to a group also including ''N. boulengeri'' and ''N. hecqui'' (both also probable members of ''Lepidiolamprologus''), ''L. attenuatus'' and ''L. kendalli''.〔Day ''et al.'' (2007)〕 As hybridization seems to have played a major role in the radiation of this group, the exact relationships of the present species are obscure; one specimens was found to belong to an mtDNA lineage quite similar to ''L./N. hecqui'', while another was distantly similar to ''L. kendalli'' in this regard. Perhaps the former observation is based on a misidentified specimen; in any case it appears that a somewhat closer relationship between the present species and ''L. kendalli'' than of either to any other lamprologine is more likely than not. Yet as this observation is only based on analysis of mtDNA sequence data, it may just as well be that the first ''L./N. meeli'' were the hybrid offspring of a ''Lepidiolamprologus'' female ancestral to ''L. kendalli'' and a ''Neolamprologus'' male, with subsequent hybridization of ''L./N. meeli'' and ''L./N. hecqui''.〔 ==Footnotes==
