KILLI-DATA ENCYCLOPEDIA

To directly show, below, the concerned snapshot of a given name, click on link in alphabetical left menu with reversed names (quicker access by first letters, in menu above). Presently valid species names are listed with (O) if oviparous sp. and (V) if viviparous (or ovoviviparous) sp., generic names are not tagged as valid or not since it is varying frequently (in Killi-Data, it always corresponds to latest published evidence, and not to opinions, published or not).

 

Reversed name (cf. legends and abbreviations in MODEL): parvus Apl.

Genus: Aplocheilus McClelland, 1839

Abbreviated genus: Apl.

Abbreviated superspecies: [Apl.blo]

Species: parvus

Index name: parvus: Aplocheilus parvus

Full name: Aplocheilus parvus

Abbreviated extended name: Apl. [Apl.blo] parvus

Original name: Panchax parvus

Describer(s): Raj

Year of description (ICZN): 1916

Original description: Raj, B. Sundara. 1916. Notes on the Freshwater Fish of Madras. Rec. Indian Mus., 12: 268, pl. 25 (figs. 2, 8), 26 (fig. 11).

Type locality: Madras, India.

Gender/Accordance (if, [Name] for person(s), [Subst.], and [Vern.], not declinable, if [Adj.], declinable according to genus gender as [Masc.], [Fem.] or [Neut.]): [Adj.]

 

 

Current status: valid sp.

Status evaluation (current): discussed {also seen as junior synonym or subspecies of blockii, based on preliminary crossing experiments ; however color pattern is distinctive}.

Future research (first, status type options for valid sp. as morpho, pattern, cryptic, molecular, or incongruent): [cryptic_species] | new material from type locality, new collecting localities, distribution evaluation all along coast of India, detailed behavior, repeated crossing with blockii, kirchmayeri, variability, deepened morphology, detailed osteology, molecular analysis.

 

 

Countries of distribution (local names): India; Sri Lanka

Availability in aquariums: rare.

Aquarium populations [names without accents, codes as initials, year-2-digits, loc number]: Beruwala, Galle, Kalutara, Kottawa Forest, Madras, Moonstone Mine, Negombo, Wirakakeya
