The river sardine, Mesobolabrevianalis (Boulenger, 1908), is the type species of Mesobola Howes, 1984.
Standard phylogenetic analyses of partial sequences of the cytochrome oxidase I
gene of individuals from populations across southern Africa that are currently
identified as M.brevianalis showed that
these populations represent four genetically distinct allopatric lineages.
Furthermore, Engraulicyprissardella (Günther, 1868), the type species of Engraulicypris Günther,
1894, was convincingly nested amongst these clades.
