Subtribe Leptolebiina Costa, 1998
In 2016 Costa wrote "
Leptolebias marmoratus is more closely related to species of the genera
Campellolebias and
Cynopoecilus than to other species of
Leptolebias, and that
Mucurilebias leitao is the sister group of a clade comprising all other cynopoecilines.
Leptopanchax, new genus..." which explain the relationships in this clade.
