Iranian cichlids are isolated disjunct populations of the African cichlids group, restricted to the Hormuz Strait region in the Hormuz basin, and are a very important group from both zoogeographic and phylogenetic points of view. Thus, the osteological structures, as one of the most reliable structures, of the three nominal species of Iranian cichlid fishes,    Iranocichla   hormuzensis    Coad, 1982, from the Mehran River,    Iranocichla   persa    Esmaeili, Sayyadzadeh et Seehausen, 2016, from Khorgo hot spring, and    Iranocichla    sp., from the Kol River were described and compared. Ten specimens of each species were cleared and stained with Alcian blue and Alizarin red. A digital camera was used for taking pictures and CorelDraw X6 software for preparing drawings. The three species have some differences in the caudal fin skeleton, shape of the urostyle, neural spine of preural 2, hypural spines 2, and 3, anterior part of parhypural and hypurapophysis, the size of neural spines of preural 2 and 3, hypural 3 and 4, and epurals. Although there are some differences among the species, osteology of these species is very conservative and other traits like behavioral and molecular should be used.

Comparative osteology of three endemic cichlids ( Iranocichla spp.) ( Actinopterygii , Perciformes , Cichlidae ) from southern Iran
