“…5-125 m. Remarks: Bussing (1998) do not listed this species from Costa Rica, although he mentions that all specimens from the Sixaola drainage lack of a caudal black spot (apparently the unique feature present in B. cascajalensis that separate this of B. parismina). In the present account, following Meek and Hildebrand (1913), Rosen and Bailey (1963), Mojica et al (1997), Parenti et al (1999), Lucinda (2003) and Lucinda and Reis (2005) and on the basis of this feature, we recognize this species to be present in the Sixaola drainage; however, further studies are needed to clarify this situation as noted by and Meyer and Etzel (2001). Bussing, 1967.…”

Based on a combination of intensive literature review, electronic database searches, re-identification of museum specimens and fieldwork, we hereby provide an updated checklist of the freshwater fishes of continental and insular Costa Rica. This checklist, systematically arranged at the ordinal and familial level, includes nomenclatural revisions, distributional information, and when appropriate, cross-references on the basis of Bussing (1998). According to our results, the native Costa Rican freshwater fish fauna is composed by 250 species, divided into 119 genera, 49 families and 19 orders; increasing in 108 the number of species originally reported by Bussing (1998). By far, the vast majority of these species, according to their supposed tolerance to salinity, are peripheral (63.2%), followed by secondary freshwater fishes (23.6%); only 13.2% are primary freshwater fishes. 24 species in this checklist appear to be endemic to Costa Rica. In addition to the native fauna 8 exotic species are reported.

“…Lucinda (2003) regarded Girardinus zonatus as Incertae Sedis in Poeciliinae, since syntypes are missing and the type locality is uncertain. Lucinda & Reis (2005: fig. 2a) presented (but not discussed) a phylogenetic hypothesis of relationships among Phalloptychus species.…”

The genus Phalloptychus is revised. Phalloptychus iheringii is removed from the synonym of P. januarius. Three species are recognized: P. eigenmanni, P. januarius, and P. iheringii. Phalloptychus eigenmanni can be distinguished from its congeners by the number of pelvic-fin rays in females, the number of predorsal scales, and the predorsal distance in females. Phalloptychus iheringii and P. januarius can be distinguished by the number of epipleural ribs, number of gonopodial rays, and a significantly different number of vertical bars along body side in females. Lectotypes are designated for Girardinus iheringii and G. januarius. Redescriptions and known distribution ranges are provided for each species as well as an identification key. Derived features supportting the monophyly of the genus and infrageneric clades are presented and discussed. The biogeographic implications of the geographic distribution of Phalloptychus species are discussed.O gênero Phalloptychus é revisado. Phalloptychus iheringii é retirado da sinonímia de P. januarius, e três espécies são reconhecidas: P. eigenmanni, P. januarius e P. iheringii. Phalloptychus eigenmanni pode ser distinguido dos seus congêneres pelo número de raios da nadadeira pélvica das fêmeas, pelo número de escamas pré-dorsais, e pela distância pré-dorsal nas fêmeas. Phalloptychus iheringii e P. januarius podem ser distinguidos pelo número de costelas epipleurais, pelo número de raios gonopodiais e por um número significantemente diferente de barras verticais ao longo dos flancos das fêmeas. Lectótipos são designados para Girardinus iheringii e G. januarius. Redescrições e amplitudes de distribuição conhecida são apresentadas para cada espécie bem como uma chave de identificação. São apresentados e discutidos caracteres derivados que corroboram a monofilia do gênero e dos clados infragenéricos. As implicações biogeográficas da distribuição geográfica das espécies de Phalloptychus são discutidas.

“…Doubt over the identification and classification of one, small cyprinodontiform specimen is no surprise. Yet, now there are straightforward tools to distinguish a fundulid from a poeciliid: well-corroborated phylogenetic hypotheses (Parenti, 1981(Parenti, , 2005Costa, 1996Costa, , 1998Ghedotti, 2000;Lucinda and Reis, 2005; Fig. 2 …”

Fundulus capensis Garman, 1895 was described from the unique holotype said to be from False Bay, Cape of Good Hope, South Africa. Largely ignored by killifish taxonomists, its classification has remained ambiguous for over a century. Radiography and computed tomography of the holotype reveal skeletal details that have been used in modern phylogenetic hypotheses of cyprinodontiform lineages. Osteological synapomorphies confirm it is a cyprinodontiform killifish and allow us to identify it to species. The first pleural rib on the second vertebra and a symmetrical caudal fin with hypural elements fused into a fan-shaped hypural plate corroborate its classification in the cyprinodontiform suborder Cyprinodontoidei. The twisted maxilla with an anterior hook and the premaxilla with an elongate ascending process both place it in the family Fundulidae. The pointed neurapophyses of the first vertebra that do not meet in the midline and do not form a spine exclude it from the family Poeciliidae. Presence of discrete exoccipital condyles excludes it from the subfamily Poeciliinae. Overall shape, position of fins, and meristic data agree well with those of the well-known North American killifish, F. heteroclitus. Fundulus capensis Garman, 1895, redescribed herein, is considered a subjective synonym of Fundulus heteroclitus (Linnaeus, 1766). Provenance of the specimen remains a mystery.
