Procatopodinae
Procatopodinae is a subfamily of the family Poeciliidae, the "livebearers", in the order Cyprinodontiformes. Some authorities treat this subfamily as a family, the Procatopodidae, including the banded lampeye. Abstract Subdivisions The subfamily Procatopodinae is divided into two tribes and 11 genera: * Tribe Fluviphylacini Roberts, 1970 ** ''Fluviphylax'' Whitley, 1920 * Tribe Procatopodini Fowler, 1916 ** '' Aapticheilichthys'' Huber, 2011 ** ''Micropanchax'' Myers, 1924 ** ''Lacustricola'' Myers, 1924 ** ''Poropanchax'' Clausen, 1967 ** '' Platypanchax'' Ahl, 1928 ** ''Lamprichthys'' Regan 1911 ** ''Pantanodon'' Myers, 1955 ** '' Hypsopanchax'' Myers, 1924 ** ''Procatopus'' Boulenger, 1904 ** '' Plataplochilus'' Ahl, 1928 ** ''Rhexipanchax'' Huber Huber is a German-language surname.

Poeciliidae
The Poeciliidae are a family of freshwater fishes of the order Cyprinodontiformes, the tooth-carps, and include well-known live-bearing aquarium fish, such as the guppy, molly, platy, and swordtail. The original distribution of the family was the Southeastern United States to north of Río de la Plata, Argentina, and Africa, including Madagascar. Due to release of aquarium specimens and the widespread use of species of the genera ''Poecilia'' and ''Gambusia'' for mosquito control, though, poeciliids can today be found in all tropical and subtropical areas of the world. In addition, ''Poecilia'' and ''Gambusia'' specimens have been identified in hot springs pools as far north as Banff, Alberta. Live-bearing Although the whole family Poeciliidae is known as "live bearers" (viviparous), some species are egg-scattering with external fertilization. All African species are egg-layers, and (with the exception of the members of the genus ''Tomeurus''), all American species are live ...

Charles Tate Regan
Charles Tate Regan FRS (1 February 1878 – 12 January 1943) was a British ichthyologist, working mainly around the beginning of the 20th century. He did extensive work on fish classification schemes.

Species Among the species he described is the Siamese fighting fish (''Betta splendens''). In turn, a number of fish species have been named ''regani'' in his honour: *A Thorny Catfish '' Anadoras regani'' (Steindachner, 1908) *The Dwarf Cichlid '' Apistogramma regani'' *'' Apogon regani'' *A Catfish '' Astroblepus regani'' * ...
