Tampichthys is a genus of cyprinid fish endemic to east–central Mexico.[1][2] They are entirely restricted to the Pánuco River basin, except T. ipni which also occurs in some other Mexican rivers that drain into the Gulf of Mexico.[2]

These are small fish, generally no more than 9 cm (3.5 in) long,[1] and overall brownish-silvery with a distinct dark horizontal line from the head to the tail base.[2]

Species

Tampichthys was formerly considered a part of Dionda instead of a separate genus.[2] There are six described species in Tampichthys,[1] but undescribed species are known.[2]

  • Tampichthys catostomops (C. L. Hubbs & R. R. Miller, 1977) (Pánuco minnow)
  • Tampichthys dichromus (C. L. Hubbs & R. R. Miller, 1977) (Bicolor minnow)
  • Tampichthys erimyzonops (C. L. Hubbs & R. R. Miller, 1974) (Chubsucker minnow)
  • Tampichthys ipni (Álvarez & Navarro, 1953) (Lantern minnow)
  • Tampichthys mandibularis (Contreras-Balderas & Verduzco-Martínez, 1977) (Flatjaw minnow)
  • Tampichthys rasconis (D. S. Jordan & Snyder, 1899) (Blackstripe minnow)
