Fundulopanchax Ndianus
''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 cinn ...

Ernst Ahl
Christoph Gustav Ernst Ahl (1 September 1898 – 14 February 1945) was a German Zoology, zoologist, born in Berlin. He was the director of the department of ichthyology and herpetology in the Museum für Naturkunde. He was also the editor in chief of the review ''Das Aquarium'' from 1927 to 1934. During World War II, Ahl fought in the ranks of the Wehrmacht - in Poland, North Africa and later Yugoslavia. He was executed while in refuge in Yugoslavia, after the partisans found out he was a German. He performed one of the first studies on Pogona, bearded dragons determining what genus they belong to. Ahl is commemorated in the scientific names of two species of lizards: ''Anolis ahli'' and ''Emoia ahli''.Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011). ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. . ("Ahl", p. 3). The latter is a synonym of ''Emoia battersbyi''.
