Fundulopanchax
''Fundulopanchax'' is a genus of killifish living in near-coastal fresh water streams and lakes in Western Africa. All species were previously biologically classified as members of the genus ''Aphyosemion'', with the exception of ''Fundulopanchax avichang'', ''F. gresensi'' and ''F. kamdemi'', which were all scientifically described after the major revision of the ''Aphyosemion'' complex. Etymology The name ''Fundulopanchax'' is composed of the names of two other genera of killifish, '' Fundulus'' Lacépède (1803), which was the genus the type species was originally placed in and '' Panchax'' Valenciennes (1846), as this genus is somewhat intermediate between ''Fundulus'' and ''Aplocheilus'' in characters. Species There are currently 26 recognized species in this genus: * ''Fundulopanchax amieti'' ( Radda, 1976) (Amiet's lyretail) * ''Fundulopanchax arnoldi'' (Boulenger, 1908) (Arnold's killi) * ''Fundulopanchax avichang'' Malumbres & Castelo, 2001 * ''Fundulopanchax ...
