Aplocheilidae, the Asian rivulines, is a family of fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes found in Asia. Some authorities use this family-group name, which is well-established, for a single lumped aplocheiloid family as it makes the nomenclature stabler along time and avoids the impact of a new name at family rank for a popular aquarium fish group.[1] Following this proposal, Aplocheilidae would include three subfamilies: Aplocheilinae for the species from Asia, Madagascar and the Seychelles; Cynolebiinae (formerly called Rivulidae) for the species from the Americas; and Nothobranchiinae for the species from the African mainland.[2] However, the 5th edition of Fishes of the World still classifies these as separate families.[3]
Genera
There are currently two recognized genera in three subfamilies in the family Aplocheilidae:[3]
- Aplocheilus McClelland, 1838
- Pachypanchax Myers, 1933
