Type species
Poecilia vivipara parae

Eigenmann, 1894[1]

Micropoecilia is a genus of poeciliids native to fresh and brackish water from the Amazon BasintoTrinidad. While recognized as valid by FishBase, others have considered this genus as being synonymous with Poecilia.[2]

Species[edit]

There are currently four recognized species in this genus:[3]

Related species[edit]

The type species of the genus is Micropoecilia parae[1] but this is not included within the genus by Fishbase but other workers have recovered this species within the subgenus MicropoeciliaofPoecilia, arguing that Micropoecilia, alongside the subgenera Acanthophacelus, Limia, Pamphorichthys and Mollienesia should all be retained as subgenera of Poecilia, which is remains a monopyletic clade in this classification. This is partly to ensure the conserving of the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) as a species within the genus due to its familiarity as a study organism.[4]
