Species of fish

Ophthalmolebias ilheusensis is a killifish from the family Rivulidae which is endemic to Brazil where it is only known from river floodplains near Ilhéus in Bahia.[1] Fishbase has this as the only species in the genus Opthamolebias with the other five species which other authorities classify as being within that genus placed in Simpsonichthys.[2][3] The genus Ophthalmolebias was initially considered a subgenus of Simpsonichthys, but has been elevated to full genus status.[4]
