Priorities for Captive Maintenance
of Mexican Goodeids – January 2006
Received from Dr. John Lyons, 17 January 2006.
Extinct (no captive populations available):
Vulnerable:
Allodontichthys tamazulae, Allodontichthys zonistius
Alloophorus robustus*, Allotoca catarinae*
Chapalichthys encaustus, Goodea gracilis (=atripinnis?)
Ilyodon cortesae, Ilyodon whitei* (inc. I. lennoni)
Xenotaenia resolanae, Xenotoca melanosoma
Zoogoneticus quitzeoensis*
Relatively Secure:
Goodea atripinnis* (inc. G. luitpoldi), Ilyodon furcidens* (inc I. xantusi)
Xenotoca variata*
Note: Status categories are not official Mexican government designations, but
are based (with some updates) on Domingúez-Domingúez, O., N. Mercado-Silva, and
J. Lyons. 2005. Conservation status of Mexican goodeids: Problems, perspectives,
and solutions. In press, Proceedings of the International Livebearer Conference,
and De La Vega-Salazar, M. Y., E. Avila-Luna, and C. Macías-Garcia. 2003.

and/or genetic diversity and have distinctive populations worthy of captive
maintenance.
