Taxonomy
Eigenmanniinae was first proposed as a subfamily in 1978 by the Venezeulan ichthyologist Francisco Mago Leccia.[1] The validity of this taxon has been regarded as debateable and the 5th edition of Fishes of the World note that it had not been widely accepted.[2] However, the monophyly of this clade has been supported by more recent morphological amd molecular analyses.[3]
