Pundamilia is a small genus of haplochromine cichlids endemic to East Africa, primarily in Lake Victoria. FishBase includes them in Haplochromis while the IUCN treats them as distinct.[1] The generic epithet comes from Swahili punda milia ("zebra") after their striped appearance.
At present, only four species are placed here:[2]
Some authors also place Haplochromis azureus here.[3]
