| Chilatherina |
| axelrodi |
| bleheri |
| bulolo |
| campsi |
| crassispinosa |
| fasciata |
| lorenzi |

All Chilatherina are found only in New Guinea. A few species are rather
common in the hobby, while others are unkown to fish keepers. |
| Glossolepis |
| incisus |
| maculosus |
| multisquamatus |
| pseudoincisus |
| ramuensis |
| wanamensis |
|
All species are found in New Guinea on the northern side of the central
mountain dividing range. Gerald Allen has reported finding a new Glossolepis
like species on the southern side of these mountains. This new species
may form the basis of a new genus of rainbowfish. |
| Iriatherina |
werneri |
Found in both Northern Australia and Southern New Guinea. This genus
has only one species. Although relatively common in the aquarium trade,
raising the fry to this species can be quite a challange. |
| Rhadinocentrus |
ornatus |
Found only in Austalia. This species appears periodically in the hobby,
but has proven difficult to maintain over the long term. |
