The Ameca shiner (Notropis amecae) is a species of cyprinid fish in the family Cyprinidae. The Ameca shiner was described in 1986 [2] from upper parts of the Ameca River drainage in Jalisco, Mexico. [3] Although already feared extinct by 1969, [3] and listed as such by the IUCN when rated in 1996, [1] a tiny population was rediscovered in 2001. [4] [5] Some were brought into captivity to form the basis of a breeding program. These have been used for a reintroduction project since 2015. [6] [7]

Its closest relatives are the yellow shiner and the Durango shiner. [2]
