Abstract

The genus Pseudomugil is revised and compared with its nominal sister groups, Popondichthys and Kiunga, which were previously placed within the family Melanotaeniidae. Pseudomugil, as a result of this study, is considered to belong to a distinct Old World atherinoid family, Pseudomugilidae, having two subfamilies, Pseudomugilinae and Kiunginae, with 13 species included in the first and 1 in the second. A key for and a full description of all the presently known species and their phenetic relationships are presented. P. helodes is no longer recognized as a member of the family Pseudomugilidae and is placed into the family of sailfin silversides, Telmatherinidae.
