[Spelling note: two "i"s (batesii) are used in the original spelling, but many authors use only one "i" in their (mis)spelling of batesii; usage is very mixed, even from one publication to another by the same author.]

[Taxonomic note: a mitochondrial DNA analysis of more than 50 species comprising the genera Fundulopanchax and Aphyosemion by Murphy & Collier (1999) places A. kunzi (= A. batesii) well within the species groups forming the genus Aphyosemion.]
