Among the eight genera of Eleotridae known from the Neotropics, two, Microphilypnus and Leptophilypnus, are greatly reduced in size and, along with the Australian genus Philypnodon, form a separate phylogenetic radiation from the other six genera. Microeleotris was described with Leptophilypnus, but Hildebrand later placed the two in synonymy. The original descriptions for these taxa were brief and did not include illustrations. As a result, confusion exists, particularly with regard to the i...
