    abstract = {In this study, partial sequences of D-loop and 16S rRNA mitochondrial genes were analyzed to genetically characterise 2 <I>Epiplatys</I> species discovered in riparian streams in Kainji Lake Nigeria. Sequence analyses of both genes show Jebba population to be more distantly separated from the Monai and Shagwa populations of <I>Epiplatys bifasciatus</I>. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, Kimura 2-parameter distance between <I>E. biifasciatus </I>and <I>E. spilargyrieus</I> the ranged from 0.0921-0.0946. Kimura 2 parameter also showed that <I>Epiplatys roloffi</I> (U73241) was genetically closer to <I>E. spilargyrieus</I> (K2P = 0.074) than to <I>E. bifasciatus</I>. The Neighbour-Joining tree showed that the <I>Epiplatys bifasciatus</I> from each stream clustered together except for those of Monai and shagwa, which formed a single clade.}
