    1. Reviewed by Joseph Dougherty    Dec 25, 2002

    Action: changed name from "Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum" to "Cichlasoma managuense "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "Jaguar guapote can be distinguished by their very large, oblique mouth, the rear edge of which extends to below the anterior edge of their eyes. They have multiple purple-black spots and blotches on their body and fins, in addition to a series of black squares along their sides. They may be green tinged dorsally and yellow ventrally. Their iris is red. Fin counts are 17-18 dorsal spines and 10-11 dorsal rays; 6-8 anal spines and 11-12 anal rays (Page and Burr, 1991). Astorqui (1971) described a rare golden morph of this species from Nicaragua locally referred to as the king guapote ("Rey de los guapotes").
