Aplocheilidae
 (

Aplocheilidae, the Asian killifishes or Asian rivulines, is a family of in the order Cyprinodontiformes found in . Some authorities use this family-group name, which is well-established, for a single lumped aplocheiloid family as it gives the nomenclature stability over time and avoids the impact of a new name at family rank for a popular group.van der Laan, R., Eschmeyer, W.N. & Fricke, R. (2014): Family-group names of Recent fishes. Zootaxa, 3882 (2): 1–230. Following this proposal, Aplocheilidae would include three subfamilies: for the species from Asia, and the ; (formerly called Rivulidae) for the species from the Americas; and for the species from the African mainland.Costa, W.J.E.M. (2016): Comparative morphology and classification of South American cynopoeciline killifishes (Cyprinodontiformes: Aplocheilidae), with notes on family-group names used for aplocheiloids. Vertebrate Zoology, 66 (2): 125–140. However, the 5th edition of Fishes of the World still classifies these as separate families,

and at least one 2008 study suggests that even the narrow Aplocheilidae may not be monophyletic, with Aplocheilus itself possibly being basal to all other Cyprinodontiforms and thus only distantly related to the younger Pachypanchax.Hertwig, S.
