Cyprinodon nevadensis is a species of pupfish in the genus Cyprinodon.[3] The species is also known as the Amargosa pupfish,[3] but that name may also refer to one subspecies, Cyprinodon nevadensis amargosae.[4] All six subspecies are or were endemic to very isolated locations in the Mojave DesertofCalifornia and Nevada.
