Comment on “A proposal for a new generic structure of the killifish family Aphaniidae, with the description of Aphaniops teimorii (Teleostei: Cyprinodontiformes)” by Jörg Freyhof & Baran Yoğurtçuoğlu, Zootaxa (July 2020) 4810 (3): 421–451

Abstract

Here we explain why the species name Aphaniops hormuzensis (Teimori, Esmaeili, Hamidan, Reichenbacher, 2018) should be considered as valid. As a consequence, the species name Aphaniops teimorii Freyhof and Yoğurtçuoğlu, 2020 should be treated as a junior synonym of A. hormuzensis.
