Mbipia is a putative genus of haplochromine cichlids which is endemic to Lake Victoria. This taxa within the genus Mbipia are currently considered by FishBase to be contained within Haplochromis[2] until a comprehensive review of that genus is conducted, however other authorities recognise its validity.[3]
If eventually separated from Haplochromis it would probably contain the following species:[3]
- Mbipia lutea Seehausen & Bouton, 1998
- Mbipia mbipi Lippitsch & Bouton, 1998
