Llanolebias stellifer (Thomerson & B. J. Turner, 1973)
|
Llanolebias stellifer is a species of rivuline endemic to the Orinoco River basin in Venezuela. This species grows to a length of 7.5 cm (3.0 in). It is the only known member of its genus.
Despite the name's very Welsh-like spelling and pronunciation, this species has nothing to do with Wales or the Welsh people.
