Aphanius , commonly referred to as Mediterranean killifish, is a genus of the order Cyprinodontiformes in the family Aphaniidae . They are found in fresh and brackish waters in the coastal plains of the Mediterranean region .
Taxonomy and systematics
[ edit ]
There were formerly 39 recognized species in this genus. However, the family Aphaniidae was split in 2020, and species were reallocated to eight monophyletic genera. Several species were reallocated; to five resurrected genera (Anatolichthys , Aphaniops , Kosswigichthys , Paraphanius , and Tellia ) and two new genera Esmaeilius and Apricaphanius .[1]
Species
[ edit ]
Following the split , there are two valid species:[1]

† Lebias cephalotes Agassiz 1839
† Lebias gaudryi Sauvage 1873
† Lebias gobio Agassiz 1839
† Lebias meyeri Agassiz 1839
† Lebias perpusillus Agassiz 1839
Fossil record
[ edit ]
Fossils of extinct species, including A. crassicaudatus and A. yerevanicus , are known as far back as the Early Miocene of the Mediterranean and Caucasus regions.[3] are Fossils of Aphanius are found in strata of the Pleistocene of Italy (age range: from 11.608 to 5.332 million years ago.).[4]
