Aplocheilidae is a family of bony fishes containing two, possibly three genera. Formerly, Aplocheilidae was synonymous with what is now recognized as the superfamily Aplocheiloidei as a whole, in that the Nothobranchiidae of Africa and the mainly South American Rivulidae grouped as subfamilies. This obsolete system is sometimes still seen, e.g. in ITIS.
