A proposal for a new generic structure of the killifish family Aphaniidae, with the description of Aphaniops teimorii (Teleostei: Cyprinodontiformes) Freyhof, Jörg & Baran Yoğurtçuoğlu. 2020.
Abstract
Following an exhaustive review of published molecular data and morphological characters, we propose a new generic classification for the Cyprinodontiform family Aphaniidae. The generic concept applied is based on monophyly, reasonable compactness, and morphological diagnoses. The proposed genera are monophyletic and compact groups that can be diagnosed by a combination of morphological characters.All species in Aphaniidae are morphologically homogeneous and have similar scale patterns, fin positions, and meristic characters. However, only a handful of morphological characters, including colour patterns, permit identification. We propose separation of Aphaniidae into eight monophyletic genera: Anatolichthys, Aphaniops, Aphanius, Kosswigichthys, Paraphanius, and Tellia, in addition to the new genera Esmaeilius and Apricaphanius, which are described for the species of the A. sophiae and A. iberus species groups, respectively. The original description of Aphanius hormuzensis does not fulfil the criteria of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, therefore this taxon is re-described as A. teimorii. Esmaeilius arakensis, E. kavirensis, E. mesopotamicus, and E. pluristriatus are treated as synonyms of E. sophiae. Esmaeilius farsicus is a junior synonym of E. persicus (Jenkins,
1910). The fossil genus Brachylebias is considered as incertae sedis since it lacks diagnostic characters which would permit it to be assigned to any of the extant genera recognised in this study.
Aphanius almiriensis (Kottelat, Barbieri & Stoumboudi, 2007)
Aphanius almiriensis, a new species of toothcarp from Greece (Teleostei: Cyprinodontidae).
Revue Suisse de Zoologie v. 114 (no. 1): 13-31.
Abstract: Aphanius almiriensis, new species, is described from a brackish water spring and from a lagoon (and its inflowing freshwater spring) in the Peloponnese (Greece). It is distinguished by the yellowish caudal fin of the male that has a wide faint grey margin and by the colour pattern of the female (7-11 dark, roundish blotches on the side, more or less connected by an irregular dark midlateral stripe). Aphanius almiriensis is critically endangered; it is possibly extinct at the type locality and the second locality is much impacted. The identity, type material and type locality of A.fasciatus are discussed, and a neotype is designated. Several species are possibly confused under the name A. fasciatus.

Abstract
Aphanius almiriensis is the first time reported from Italy, where it occurs in the Palude del Capitano. The newly found population agree with Greek A. almiriensis in molecular (COI) and morphological characters. Aphanius almiriensis might be native to the the Palude del Capitano, which is outside from the species known range in the Aegean Sea basin. It might also have been imported with goods from the eastern Aegean in the late Republican age and the late Imperial period. The diagnostic morphological characters as well as the distribution and conservation status of A. almiriensis is discussed. A distribution map and associated, georeferenced database of A. almiriensis as well as of A. fasciatus are presented.

CURRENT STATUS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN KILLIFISH (APHANIUS FASCIATUS) IN MALTA | A COMPLEX CONSERVATION QUESTION
Aphanius fasciatus "Tiber River drainage"
Aphanius opavensis (Gaudant, 2006)
Occurrence of the genus Aphanius Nardo (teleostean fishes, Cyprinodontidae) in the evaporitic Upper Badenian of eastern Czech Republic. Casopis Slezskeho Zemskeho Muzea, Serie A, Vedy Prirodni, 55(2): 97–104 [Zoological Record Volume 143].
Type locality: Eastern Czech Republic.
The study of the Cyprinodontid fishes collected in the spoil heaps of the Opava-Katerinky gypsum quarry has shown that they belong to the recent Mediterranean genus Aphanius Nardo. These fishes generally exhibit a more or less developed pachyostosis, already described in the Messinian Mediterranean species Aphanius crassicaudus (Agassiz). However, the Upper Badenian Aphanius from Opava-Katerinky differ from it by their smaller number of postabdominal vertebrae and also differ from every other Aphanius species hitherto described. For this reason, they are here described as Aphanius opavensis sp. n.
