Kihnichthys ufermanni, the Usumacinta cichlid, is a species of cichlid found in the Pasión River system, a tributary to the Usumacinta River in Petén, Guatemala. This species is the only known member of its genus,[1] but several of its features, including the chisel-like teeth, are shared with Cincelichthys and whether they should be merged into a single genus is not yet fully resolved.[2]
The generic name honours the Guatemalan ichthyologist Herman A. Kihn while the specific name honours the German aquarist, and friend of Robert Allgayer's, Alfred Ufermann who died in 2000.[3]
