Form moderately elongate, compressed, caudal pedicel deep. Crown flat- 
tened. Snout short, blunt; chin steep. Mouth small, directed upward ; 
lower jaws longer, firmly united; upper short, protractile. Teeth in a single 
series in each jaw, compressed and broadened toward the crowns, tricuspid. 
Gill membranes united, free from the isthmus. Branchiostegal rays five to 
four. Dorsal fin originating in the posterior half of the length; first ray 
not enlarged. First ray of anal farther backward than that of dorsal; fin 
not modified on the male. Ventrals small; rays five to seven. Caudal 
large, deep. Intestine short to medium. Rather smaller than Cyprinodon. 
Mediterranean region in Europe, Africa, and Asia Minor to India. 
It seems to have been the intention at first to name this genus Lebia. 
That name being preoccupied the added “s”’ was adopted. In a number of 
instances of the synonymy species of Cyprinodon were included, 
Lebias calaritana.
