Aplocheilidae is a family of fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes found in Africa, Asia and South America. This family-group name is well-established, making its use as a single aplocheiloid family more stable along time, besides avoiding the impact of a new name at the family rank for a popular aquarium fish group.[2] Following this proposal, Aplocheilidae includes three subfamilies: Aplocheilinae Bleeker, 1859; Cynolebiinae Hoedeman, 1961 (= Rivulidae Myers, 1925) and Nothobranchiinae Garman, 1895.[1]
