Valencia is the only genus in the family Valenciidae.[1] Valencia is a genus of ray-finned fishes. It was formerly grouped into the family Cyprinodontidae, but more recent studies support it being its own family most closely related to the Aphaniidae.[2][3] Members of this genus are restricted to southern Europe.[4]
Taxonomy
[edit]There are currently three recognized species in Valencia:[4][5]
- Valencia hispanica (Valenciennes, 1846) (Valencia toothcarp)
- Valencia letourneuxi (Sauvage, 1880) (Corfu toothcarp)
- Valencia robertae Freyhof, Kärst & Geiger, 2014[5]
The Valenciidae were formerly a much more diverse lineage in prehistoric times (Paleogene to mid-Neogene). The following fossil genera are also known:[6]
- †Aphanolebias Reichenbacher & Gaudant, 2003
- †Francolebias Costa, 2012
- †Miovalencia Mainero, Vasilyan & Reichenbacher, 2024
- †Prolebias Sauvage, 1874
- †Wilsonilebias Mainero, Vasilyan & Reichenbacher, 2024
This group has a rich fossil record dating to the Early Oligocene. Their evolution was driven by shifts in the Mediterranean and the Paratethys Seas.[6]
