Chiloglaizis productus, new species, is described from the Lunzua River, which drains into the southern tip of Lake Tanganyika in Zambia. It is easily distinguished from congeners in having a color pattern consisting of a pale midlateral stripe on a purplish gray body and without any other distinct pale patches or bands, and by the nature of its sexual dimorphism in caudal fin shape: males have a produced caudal fin (vs. diamond shaped, forked or trilobate in males of otlicr sexually dimorphic congeners).
