==Taxonomy and species== The genus formerly contained nine species that had been included within the genus Archocentrus. The convict cichlid has sometimes been placed within the genus Cryptoheros as well, but is now considered a member of the genus Amatitlania. Several other species such as Amatitlania septemfasciata and Amatitlania sajica had also once been included within Cryptoheros.
