Species of fish

The graceful priapella (Priapella bonita), also known by its original Spanish name guayacon ojiazul, is a species of freshwater fish within the family Poeciliidae. It is considered to be data deficient. It is endemic to a small part of central Veracruz in Mexico.[3] It has not been recorded recently and is thought most likely to be extinct, however, the IUCN states that there is an outside chance that the species clings on in a hereto unsurveyed part of its known range and so list it as Data Deficient.[1] The American ichthyologist Seth Eugene Meek described this fish as Gambusia bonita in 1904 with the type locality given as Río Tonto at Refugio, Veracruz, Mexico.[4] It is the type species of the genus Priapella.[5]
