Eigenmann, 1912
Max length300mm SL12in SLTank210 × 60cm84 × 24inTemp20–28°C68–82°FpH6.0–7.5Type locality is 'Tukeit, Guyana', and this species is known from various river drainages of Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana including the Orinoco, Essequibo, and upper Courantyne (aka Corantijn) basins. Additional records exist from the upper Amazon basin in Guyana, these presumably corresponding to the Takutu river basin, itself part of the upper rio Branco.

Fowler, 1913
Max length30mm SL1.2in SLTank45 × 30cm18 × 12inTemp22–28°C72–82°FpH5.0–7.0Native to the central Amazon basin with records existing from the Madeira, Branco, Trombetas, and Tapajós river drainages, plus the Rupununi basin in Guyana. Although an affluent of the rio Essequibo and thus not officially part of the Amazon basin, the latter is connected to the rio Takutu, a tributary of the upper rio Branco, during the annual wet season. Type locality is given by Fowler as 'Rio Madeira about 200 miles east of W. Long. 62°20', Brazil'.

The southern extremity of its range appears to be the Río Mamoré in Bolivia, a tributary of the rio Guaporé, and the northern limit the Essequibo basin, Guyana.

Radda, 1975
Max length50mm SL2.0in SLTanknot recordedTemp18–22°C64–72°FpH6.0–7.0Described from a rainforest stream near the settlement of Mintoum, northern Gabon and has a wider distribution in the upper Ivindo River basin, a tributary of the larger Ogooué system. Thi species was considered synonymous with the congener A. herzogi Radda 1975 for a number of years but is currently recognised as distinct.

Scheel, 1971
Max length65mm SL2.6in SLTanknot recordedTemp20–26°C68–79°FpH6.0–7.6Described from a small stream in Mambanda, near Kumba, western Cameroon, and appears restricted to parts of the central Mungo River basin in that region.

Aphyosemion decorseiDecorse's Lyretail
Pellegrin, 1904
Max length50mm SL2.0in SLTanknot recordedTempnot recordedpHnot recordedType locality is the settlement of Bessou, Lobaye prefecture, Central African Republic, which lies within the Ubangi (also spelled Oubangui) River basin. The Ubangi is a major tributary of the Congo River and this species appears restricted to its middle section and thus probably extends into northern Republic of Congo and Democratic Republic of Congo.

Aphyosemion elbertiRed-Barred Lyretail
Ahl, 1924
Max length40mm SL1.6in SLTanknot recordedTemp18–22°C64–72°FpH6.0–7.0This species' currently accepted range stretches from eastern Nigeria (Mbam River) across central Cameroon (via the Sanaga River system of which the Mbam is a tributary) and across the border into Central African Republic (upper Mambéré basin). It was described from 'Jade Plateau, Cameroon', this apparently corresponding to the Lebo River which lies in what is now the Central African Republic and presumably forms part of the Mambéré headwaters.
Aphyosemion rectogoense
Radda & Huber, 1977

Type locality is '6 km west of Léconi', the latter presumably referring to the settlement of that name.
