Algansea is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Leuciscidae, distributed in the Lerma– Chapala– Grande de Santiago, Pátzcuaro, Armería, Ameca, Ayutla and Tuxpan basins in west-central Mexico (mostly Jalisco, but also surrounding states and the State of Mexico). [1] [2] [3] [4] The genus includes both species that are locally numerous, [5] and species that are highly threatened. [2] [4] Their closest relative is the longfin dace (Agosia chrysogaster). [3]
Algansea are fairly small fish that typically are between 5 and 15 cm (2–6 in) in standard length, although A. lacustris and A. popoche can reach up to 23–26 cm (9–10 in). [2] [4] The different species are generally quite similar in their appearance, being yellowish- or olive-brown overall; darker on the upperparts and paler, more silvery on the underparts. They have a long blackish line along the side of the body from the gill covers to the tail base, or a blackish spot at the base of the tail. [2] [4]
Species
There are currently eight recognized species in this genus: [1]
- Algansea amecae Pérez-Rodríguez, Pérez-Ponce de León, Domínguez-Domínguez & Doadrio, 2009 (Ameca chub)
- Algansea aphanea C. D. Barbour & R. R. Miller, 1978 (riffle chub)
- Algansea avia C. D. Barbour & R. R. Miller, 1978 (remote chub)
- Algansea barbata Álvarez & Cortés, 1964 (Lerma chub)
- Algansea lacustris Steindachner, 1895 (Pátzcuaro chub)
- Algansea monticola C. D. Barbour & Contreras-Balderas, 1968 (mountain chub)
- Algansea popoche ( D. S. Jordan & Snyder, 1899) (popoche chub)
- Algansea tincella ( Valenciennes, 1844) (spottail chub)
