Head drawing pattern
The head drawing pattern can do very well
used to
Epiplatys and relatives
of
Aphyosemion and relatives
differentiate from each other.
Aphyosemion and
Fundulopanchax show
three parallel oblique bands on the
Gill cover.
Epiplatys and
“Roloffia” never have
such a pattern. It is almost the same for them
always a sideways "V".
When the preserved
Episemion was
the head drawing pattern unfortunately no longer
to recognize.
Also based on
Episemion photos
I couldn't quite tell how that
Head drawing pattern looks like. Just like
at Diapteron the pattern is indefinite.
Two copies, illustrated by Seegers (1997)
but show three parallel bands.
