Species


There have been two recognized species in this genus:[1]

The poor man's tropheus had previously been considered to be in the separate monotypic genus Neetroplus before it was brought into Hypsophrys in 2007.[2] However, genetic analysis by Oldřich Říčan, et al. in 2016 demonstrated that the poor man's tropheus should be in a separate genus and resurrected Neetroplus, restating the old scientific name Neetroplus nematopus.[3]
