Floridichthys – Taxon details on Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS).
Floridichthys is a genus of pupfishes native to the southeastern United States, Mexico and northern Central America. The name of this genus is a compound of Florida and the Greek for "fish", ichthys. The ichthyologist Carl Leavitt Hubbs thought that the genus was confined to Florida at the time he coined the name.[2]
Species
There are currently two recognized species in this genus:[3]
Floridichthys carpio (Günther, 1866) (Goldspotted killifish)
Floridichthys polyommus C. L. Hubbs, 1936 (Ocellated killifish)
