Aapticheilichthys is a monotypic genus of killifish from the family Poeciliidae,[2] the sole member species being Aapticheilichthys websteri.[1] A. websteri was collected by the American fish breeder Kent Webster after whom the species was named. The type locality was Akaka Camp on the western coastal plain of Gabon.[3] A. websteri was collected from a river that was less than 10 m (33 ft) wide on the night of the Asian tsunami (26 December 2004), though it is not clear what effect of the tsunami may have had on the local ecosystem.[4]
