Austrofundulus
''Austrofundulus'' is a genus of killifish in the family Rivulidae native to northern Colombia, northern Venezuela and southwestern Guyana. They are annual killifish where adults generally have a short life in temporary ponds or swamps and the eggs experience a period of drought, only hatching when again covered by water. They are small thickset fish, no more than in total length Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of their anatomies, for data used in many areas of ichthyology, including taxonomy and fishery biology. Overall length Standard length (SL) is the length of a fish measured f ..., and most less than half that size. Species ''Austrofundulus'' is closely related to '' Rachovia'', and it has been suggested that the former should be merged into the latter. There are currently 7 recognized species of ''Austrofundulus'': * '' Austrofundulus guajira'' Hrbek, Taphorn & Thomerson, 2005 * '' Austrofundulus leohoignei'' Hrbek, Taphor ...

They are small annual killifish that reach up to in total length. The name of this genus honours the German aquarist Arthur Rachow (1884–1960) who sent fish specimens to George S. Myers. Species ''Rachovia'' formerly included '' Llanolebias'', but these are now regarded as separate genera.

Rivulidae
The Rivulidae are a family (biology), family of killifishes in the order (biology), 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. The alternative family-group name Cynolebiidae Hoedeman 1961 ...
