Procatopodini
Procatopodidae, the African lampeyes, is a Family (biology), family of ray-finned fish in the Order (biology), order Cyprinodontiformes. It was formerly treated as a subfamily (Procatopodinae) of the Poeciliidae, Poecilidae. Despite containing mostly African genera (including ''Pantanodon''), the South American ''Fluviphylax'' was also placed in it as its own tribe. However, more recent studies have found this treatment to be paraphyletic; Pantanodontidae, Fluviphylacidae, and Procatopodidae are their own families distinct from Poecilidae, and the former two are distinct from Procatopodidae as well. Meanwhile, the Aplocheilichthyinae, previously treated as a separate subfamily of Poecilidae, are known to belong to the Procatopodidae. This family is thought to be the sister group to the clade comprising Aphaniidae and Valencia (fish), Valenciidae. Abstract Subdivisions The family Procatopodidae is divided into two subfamilies and 14 genus, genera: *Subfamily Aplocheilichthyinae ...
