Biology:Esmaeilius
From HandWiki
Esmaeilius is a genus of toothcarps in the family Aphaniidae. Most are native to Iran, with the range of one species extending to Iraq as well. Most species in the genus have very small distributions and all are seriously threatened.
Etymology
The generic name pertains to Hamid Reza Esmaeili, for his contribution to the understanding of diversity within the family Aphaniidae.[1][2]
