Author: Matthes, 1964
Remark: This species is placed in the genus <i>Nannaethiops</i> in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. Mar. 2011: Ref. 86697) following Géry & Zarske (2003: Ref. 77044) who consider the genus <i>Neolebias</i> Steindachner, 1984 as a junior synonym of <i>Nannaethiops</i> Günther, 1872.  However, the two genera are most likely distinct (Sonnenberg, pers. comm. 05/2011).  Please send references, or more studies are needed.
Comments: Occurs in small rivers (Ref. 7094).
