The banded killifish (''Fundulus diaphanus'') is a North American species of temperate freshwater killifish belonging to the ''Fundulus'' genus of the Fundulidae family. The natural geographic range extends from Newfoundland to South Carolina, and west to Minnesota. It includes the Great Lakes drainages.〔Page, Lawrence M. and Brooks M. Burr (1991), ''Freshwater Fishes'', p. 216, Houghton Mifflin, New York. ISBN 0-395-91091-9〕 The banded killifish is the only freshwater killifish found in the northeastern United States. While it is primarily a freshwater species, it can occasionally be found in brackish water.〔Werner, Robert G. (2004), ''Freshwater Fishes of the Northeastern United States'', p. 206, Syracuse University Press, Syracuse, New York. ISBN 0-8156-3020-4.〕 ==Etymology==
The common name, "banded killifish", commonly refers to the distinct black and white vertical bandings found along their sides. The Latin genus name ''Fundulus'' is the diminutive of ''fundus'', which means "bottom," and the specific name ''diaphanus'' means "transparent" in Greek.〔Chippett, Jamie D. 2003.
