The Mezquital pupfish (Cyprinodon meeki) is a species of pupfish in the family Cyprinodontidae.[2] It is endemictoDurangoinMexico. This species was describedbyRobert Rush Miller in 1976 from a pond which was fed by hot springs within the basin of the Río del Tunal, approximately 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) east of Durango City at an altitude of about 1,880 metres (6,170 ft).[3] The specific name honors the American ichthyologist Seth Eugene Meek (1859-1914), a pioneer of the study of the freshwater fish of Mexico.[4]
