Etia nguti is a species of cichlid fish endemic to Cameroon in Central Africa where it is only known from the Nguti River (Ehumbve river), a tributary of the Cross-Manyu River. This species can reach up to 13.3 cm in standard length. It is the only member of its genus and tribe.

Etymology

The species name refers to the village Nguti in Southwestern Cameroon where the majority of the type series was collected. The generic name "Etia" in the indigenous Mbo language spoken in Nguti means "located in", 'Etia Nguti' literally means "located in Nguti."
