Nothobranchius cooperi, Nagy, Watters and Bellstedt, new species, has been described from what was previously known as the Mansa populations of N. cf. rosenstocki. Species identification was supported by morphometric elements, as well as genetic divergence of the mitochondrial COI and ND2 genes and nuclear S7 gene.
