The White Spotted Cichlid Tropheus duboisi was described by Marlier in 1959. These fish are endemic to Lake Tanganyika, Africa. This species is listed on the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species as Vulnerable (VU) as subpopulations have been recorded from only four areas in the northern part of the lake.
They are also commonly known as the Duboisi Cichlid and the Blue-Faced Duboisi Cichlid. But they are also named for their area of origin along with a corresponding name that relates to the width of the central vertical band found on the adults of that subpopulation.
