I really, really do not like how they got the Bantam Sunfish and GSF as closest kin. I work with both a lot plus played a lot with most of the others in the genus. The Bantam Sunfish based on a lot of things I think should either be more closely allied with Enneacanthus or equally related to Lepomis and Enneacanthus. If Bantam's closest if the GSF, I am a monkeys uncle.
Flier also more like an intermediate between the rockbasses and crappies.
