Prorivulus Costa. View in CoL A monotypic non-annual genus, P. auriferus Costa, Lima & Suzart , from the coastal drainages of northeastern Brazil, is diagnosed by the presence of soft anal fin rays in females, minute urogenital papilla in males, and absence of a dark bar on iris. It has some morphological characteristics similar to Kryptolebias , but other characters more closely align with the rest of Rivulidae . According to the original description it would be the sister taxa of all Rivulidae except Kryptolebias ( Costa, 2004b, 2006a). Unfortunately, it has never been included in any subsequent phylogeny or revision, and its position remains uncertain.
