Steve, In Dr. Kullander's 1998 article "A phylogeny and classification of the South American Cichlidae (Teleostei: Perciformes)" in Malabarba, L. et. al. (eds.) Phylogeny and classification of Neotropical fishes, Porto Alegre, Brazil, p.461-498. Kullander wrote that the genera Apistogrammoides and Taeniacara are sufficiently similar to Apistogramma that they could be considered part of this genus. I don't know if this is sufficient to actually eradicate the 2 genera. On my apisto list I have them listed as Apistogramma (Apistogrammoides) pucallpaensis & Apistogramma (Taeniacara) candidi only for the sake of completeness.
