Nothobranchius jubbi is a species of killifish in the family Nothobranchiidae.[2] It occurs in north eastern Africa in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia[1] in temporary pools, ditches, marshes and rain pans, normally ones without any connections to rivers.[2] This species was described in 1979 by Rudolf Hans Wildekamp and Heinz Otto Berkenkamp with the type locality given as a pool on the road to Garsen, 17 miles north of Malindi.[3] The specific name honours the South African meteorologist and ichthyologist Reginald A. “Rex” Jubb (1905-1987) of the Freshwater Fish Section at the Albany Museum in Grahamstown, South Africa, in recognition of his taxonomic work on the genus Nothobranchius.[4]
