The Sonoyta pupfish or Quitobaquito pupfish (Cyprinodon eremus) is an endangered species of pupfish from Sonora in Mexico and Arizona in the United States.[1]
Originally, it was considered to be a subspecies of the desert pupfish (C. macularius), but it has since been reclassified as a distinct species.[2][3][4]
