  abstract = {{A}ssessing biodiversity and understanding how it works is a prerequisite for species conservation. {T}he {A}mazon basin is one of the main biodiversity hotspots where fish are heavily exploited for ornamental purposes. {T}he ornamental trade heavily exploits the genus{A}pistogramma, which is one of the most species-rich among {N}eotropical cichlids with 94 formally described species. {T}his number is certainly underestimated owing to the limitations of conventional taxonomy, which is still too often based solely on morphological criteria and sometimes on few individuals. {M}ost species of this genus have a high degree of endemism and are highly prized on the ornamental market, which could put them at risk. {A} few species are supposed to have extensive distributions, and in particular{A}pistogramma agassizii, present from the {A}mazon estuary up to the {U}cayali and {M}aranon rivers in {P}eru. {T}his study assessed the taxonomic status of 1,151 specimens of{A}. agassiziicollected from 35 sites around {I}quitos in the {P}eruvian {A}mazon. {O}n the basis of molecular analyses (nuclear and mitochondrial {DNA}) and mate choice experiments, at least three biological species within the nominal{A}. agassiziiwere evidenced in the sampling area, which is extremely small compared with the known distribution of the species as initially described. {A}ccording to the molecular calibrations, these three species would have diverged during the {P}lio-{P}leistocene. {T}wo of them seem to be endemic from small sub-basins, one from the {N}anay {R}iver and the other from the {A}payacu/{A}mpiyacu systems. {A} possible scenario that may explain the evolutionary history of these species is proposed. {T}he conservation implications of these results on the estimation of the diversity of{A}. agassizii, of{A}pistogrammaspecies in general, and of other {A}mazonian cichlids are discussed.},
