Issue
Redescription by Bussing (1975), as Cichlasoma sieboldii. Reviewed by Bussing (1998: 372), as Theraps sieboldii, with key, diagnosis, geographical distribution, and figures. Molecular analysis suggests that T. sieboldii is not closely related to T. tuba (Martin & Bermingham, 1998), but the species is maintained in Tomocichla pending a more general revision of heroin cichlids.
