'''''Anablepsoides''''' is a genus of killifish in the family Rivulidae<ref name = FishBase/> native to tropical South America and the Lesser Antilles. The majority are from the Amazon and Orinoco basins, as well as freshwater systems in the Guiana Shield, but a few species are from northern Venezuela, northeastern Brazil (Tocantins River basin, as well as systems in Ceará and Maranhão) and the Lesser Antilles (Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, Martinique and Margarita).<ref name=Costa2011a>{{cite journal| author=Costa, W.J.E.M. | year=2011 | title=Phylogenetic position and taxonomic status of ''Anablepsoides, Atlantirivulus, Cynodonichthys, Laimosemion'' and ''Melanorivulus'' (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae) | journal=Ichthyological Exploration of Freshwaters | volume=22 | issue=3 | pages=233–249 }}</ref><ref name=Andrews2015>{{cite web|author=Andrews, O. |year=2015 |url=https://sta.uwi.edu/fst/lifesciences/sites/default/files/lifesciences/images/Anablepsoides%20hartii%20-%20Jumping%20Guabine.pdf|title=''Anablepsoides hartii'' (Jumping Guabine)|website= The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago|publisher=UWI |access-date= 5 November 2018}}</ref> Although largely restricted to lowlands, a few species occur in the lower East Andean foothills. They are mostly found in shallow fresh water swamps, streams, edges of rivers, ponds and pools, but a few may occur in brackish estuaries. They are able to jump over land and breathe air for short periods, allowing them to access isolated waters inhabited by few or no other fish.<ref name=Costa2011a/><ref name=Andrews2015/> Several ''Anablepsoides'' species have small distributions and some are seriously threatened by habitat loss; the entire known range of ''A. xinguensis'' is in the area flooded by the Belo Monte Dam.<ref name=Nielsen2014>{{cite journal | author1=Nielsen, D.T.B. | author2=M.

Similar to closely related genera such as ''Atlantirivulus'', ''Cynodonichthys'', ''Laimosemion'' and ''Melanorivulus'', ''Anablepsoides'' are non-annual killifish.<ref name=Berois2015>{{cite book | editor1=Berois, N. | editor2=G.

The largest, ''A. igneus'', is up to {{cvt|15|cm}} in total length, but the vast majority of the ''Anablepsoides'' species only reach about half that size or less.<ref name=FishBase>{{FishBase genus | genus=Anablepsoides | month=November | year=2018 }}</ref>

==Species== Until 2011, ''Anablepsoides'' were included in ''Rivulus'',<ref name=Costa2011a/> and some prefer to maintain them in that genus.<ref name=Huber2012>{{cite journal| author=Huber, J.H. | year=2012 | title=Reappraisal of the Phylogeny of ''Rivulus'' and its Allied focused on External Characters | journal=Killi-Data Series | volume=2012 | pages=9–25 }}</ref>
