Family of Rivulidae
The family Rivulidae is divided into three subfamilies, which in turn are subdivided into different tribes. Regarding the number of genera there are different opinions. Here 39 genera are listed, some of which contain subgenera.
However, the correctness of the taxonomy listed below cannot be guaranteed within the framework of the ‘International Rivulid Coservation Program’. After all, taxonomy is not the primary function of the IRCP.
