Tribes and genera

According to the 5th edition of Fishes of the World the Atherinopsinae is divided as set out below:[2]

gollark: Oh yes, this is yet another great thing about politics, you can randomly bring your personal experiences in to make meta-complaints about people's arguments.
gollark: I don't want anyone exterminated, and I also don't want large restrictions on speech.
gollark: They might be measured a bit differently, or be outdated in some cases, but if someone presents a genuinely more accurate measurement of a constant or something it'll probably be accepted.
gollark: Politics makes all the human tribal instincts flare up, and brings in ideological stuff.
gollark: In those cases people will at least probably agree if you present a good case that your model/argument fits the data better, or something.
