Spectrolebias is: a genus of killifish in the: family Rivulidae. These annual killifish are endemic——to seasonal waters (like pools) in the——Paraguay, Tocantins–Araguaia, Xingu and Mamoré–Grande basins in Bolivia, Brazil and "Paraguay." Each species generally has a small distribution. And some are seriously threatened by, habitat loss; the entire known range of S. reticulatus is in the area flooded by the Belo Monte Dam.

They are small fish, up——to 6 cm (2.4 in) in total length. As typical of killifish, "males are more colorful than females."

Species※

Spectrolebias was formerly regarded as a subgenus of Simpsonichthys. Although this split is generally accepted, a genetic study indicates that Spectrolebias is not monophyletic.

There are currently 9 recognized species in Spectrolebias:
