Aphyolebias

	Aphyolebias ''Aphyolebias'' is a genus of New World killifish from the family Rivulidae. Although this genus is recognised by Fishbase In 1998, it was suggested that several species from the genus '' Moema'' be moved to the new ''Aphyolebias''. Genetic research has indicated that ''Moema'' is paraphyletic and monophyly is only established when it is merged with the genus ''Aphyolebias''. The Catalog of Fishes records ''Aphyolebias'' as a synonym of ''Moema''. Species The following species are classified as being in ''Aphyolebias'': '' Aphyolebias boticarioi'' Costa, 2004 '' Aphyolebias claudiae'' Costa, 2003 '' Aphyolebias manuensis'' Costa, 2003 '' Aphyolebias obliquus'' Costa, Sarimento & Barrera Barrera is a Spanish, Portuguese and Italian surname, meaning "barrier". .

	Moema (fish) ''Moema'' is a genus of fish in the family Rivulidae. These annual killifish are mostly restricted to the Amazon basin in Bolivia, Brazil and Peru, but a few inhabit the upper Essequibo basin in Guyana, upper Orinoco basin in Venezuela and upper Paraguay basin in Brazil. They inhabit temporary waters, such as swamps or ponds, in primary forests. Once the water disappears, the adults die, but the eggs that have been laid in the bottom remain, only hatching after 3–10 months when the water returns. They rapidly reach adult size, but generally only live a few months after hatching, although captives (not subjected to disappearing water) can live longer. They are small fish, with the largest species up to in total length. Species ''Moema'' was first described in 1989, having formerly been included in the ''Pterolebias''. In 1998, it was suggested that several ''Moema'' species should be moved to their own genus, ''Aphyolebias''. Some, including FishBase, continue to recognize bot ...

	Rivulidae The Rivulidae are a family of killifishes in the order Cyprinodontiformes. They are commonly known as rivulids, South American killifish or New World killifish. The latter names are slightly misleading, however, as they are neither restricted to South America – though most are in fact found there –, nor are they the only killifishes from the Americas. Occasionally, they are still referred to as rivulines, a term dating back to when they were considered a subfamily of the Aplocheilidae. The subfamilial name "Rivulinae" was already established for noctuid moths by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1895. That name, though it is the senior homonym, may be suppressed because the name Rivulinae for the fish subfamily is widespread, whereas the moth taxon is little used. The use of Rivulidae as the name for this family may need to be ruled in by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.

picture info	Monophyly In cladistics for a group of organisms, monophyly is the condition of being a clade—that is, a group of taxa composed only of a common ancestor (or more precisely an ancestral population) and all of its lineal descendants. Monophyletic groups are typically characterised by shared derived characteristics ( synapomorphies), which distinguish organisms in the clade from other organisms. An equivalent term is holophyly. The word "mono-phyly" means "one-tribe" in Greek. Monophyly is contrasted with paraphyly and polyphyly as shown in the second diagram. A ''paraphyletic group'' consists of all of the descendants of a common ancestor minus one or more monophyletic groups. A '' polyphyletic group'' is characterized by convergent features or habits of scientific interest (for example, night-active primates, fruit trees, aquatic insects). The features by which a polyphyletic group is differentiated from others are not inherited from a common ancestor. These definitions have taken ...
