Aplocheilidae is a family of fish in the order Cyprinodontiformes found in Africa, Asia and South America. This family-group name is well-established, making its use as a single aplocheiloid family more stable along time, besides avoiding the impact of a new name at the family rank for a popular aquarium fish group. Following this proposal, Aplocheilidae includes three subfamilies: Aplocheilinae ; Cynolebiinae and Nothobranchiinae .
