Austrofundulus Myersi
''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, 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, Taphorn & Thomerson, 2005 * '' Austrofundulus leoni'' Hrbek, Taphorn & Thomerson, 2005 * '' Austrofundulus limnaeus'' L.

Killifish
A killifish is any of various oviparous (egg-laying) cyprinodontiform fish, including families Aplocheilidae, Pantanodontidae, Cyprinodontidae, Fundulidae, Nothobranchiidae, Profundulidae, Aphaniidae and Valenciidae. All together, there are 1,270 species of killifish, the biggest family being Rivulidae, containing more than 320 species. As an adaptation to living in ephemeral waters, the eggs of most killifish can survive periods of partial dehydration. Many of the species rely on such a diapause, since the eggs would not survive more than a few weeks if entirely submerged in water. The adults of some species, such as ''Kryptolebias marmoratus'', can additionally survive out of the water for several weeks. Most killifish are small, measuring from , with the largest species growing to just under . The word ''killifish'' is of uncertain origin, but is likely to have come from the Dutch ''kil'' for a kill (small stream). Although killifish is sometimes used as an English eq ...
