Aphanius Nardo, 1827 (Osteichthyes, Cyprinodontiformes): conserved


Abstract. The Commission has ruled that the name Aphanius Nardo, 1827 for a genus of Palaearctic fishes (family CYPRINODONTIDAE) is conserved by the suppression of the name Lebias Goldfuss, 1820 which, with a single exception in 1895, had remained unused since 1846 until resurrected by Lazara in 1995. Few authors have followed Lazara in his use of Lebias which does not refer to the same taxon as Aphanius. [details]
