  abstract = {{D}uring a survey of the fishes in the region of the {W}onga-{W}ongue {P}residential {R}eserve, 14 new populations of the subgenus {C}hromaphyosemion {M}yers, 1924 were found. {T}hese observations extend the previously known distribution range of the subgenus 120 kilometres southward. {N}one of these populations could be related to any described species. {B}ased on the colouration of the males and females, together with a genetic marker (mitochondrial {DNA} cytochrome b sequences), the populations studied are grouped into six new species which are described in this article, all close to {A}phyosemion alpha {H}uber, 1998 with which they share the presence of a black alpha-shaped mark on the pre- and post-opercular region. {T}he group composed of {A}. alpha and the six new species is referred to here as the {A}. alpha species group. {A}ll the new species, {A}. aurantiacum {C}hirio, {L}egros & {A}gnese sp. nov., {A}. barakoniense {C}hirio, {L}egros & {A}gnese sp. nov., {A}. flammulatum {C}hirio, {L}egros & {A}gnese sp. nov., {A}. flavocyaneum {C}hirio, {L}egros & {A}gnese sp. nov., {A}. pusillum {C}hirio, {L}egros & {A}gnese sp. nov. and {A}. rubrogaster {C}hirio, {L}egros & {A}gnese sp. nov., are further unambiguously diagnosed by unique combinations of colour patterns, making it possible to generate an identification key for the {A}. alpha species group. {I}t is likely that the coastal dunes of {W}onga-{W}ongue that form a sandy relief, could have led to the fragmentation and then isolation of the hydrographical networks that flow into the {A}tlantic {O}cean, making possible a significant number of allopatric speciations.},
