Herichthys

Herichthys is a small genus of cichlid fishes. Most are endemic to Mexico, but H. cyanoguttatus is also found in southern Texas (United States), and has been introduced to central Texas and Florida. In 2015, the genus was split, and 7 species moved into Nosferatu.

Species

There are currently 7 recognized species in this genus.[1] Separate mitochondrial DNA analyses by Husley et al.,[2] Rican et al.,[3] and Oldfield et al.,[4] support H. minckleyi as monophyletic and sister to all other Herichthys species. Moreover, molecular analysis conducted separately by López-Fernández, et al.,[5] and De la Maza-Benignos, et al.,[1] did not support H. tamasopoensis, H. cyanoguttatus, H. teporatus, and H. carpintis as distinct from each other. However, morphological and zoogeographical analysis by De la Maza-Benignos, et al.,[1] confirmed the validity of these four species, as well as differential evolutionary trends. Analysis also supported the separation of Herichthys into three distinct geomorphological groups + H. minckleyi. These are, from South to North:[1]

The Catalog of Fishes classifies the genus Nosferatu as synonymous with Herichthys.[8]

gollark: ```As companies embrace buzzwords, a shortage of blockchain cryptocurrency connoisseurs opens. Only the finest theoretical code artisans with a background in machine learning (20 years of experience minimum) and artificial general intelligence (5+ years of experience) can shed light on the future of quantum computing as we know it. The rest of us simply can't hope to compete with the influx of Stanford graduates feeding all the big data to their insatiable models, tensor by tensor. "Nobody knows how these models really work, but they do and it's time to embrace them." said Boris Yue, 20, self-appointed "AI Expert" and "Code Samurai". But Yue wasn’t worried about so much potential competition. While the job outlook for those with computer skills is generally good, Yue is in an even more rarified category: he is studying artificial intelligence, working on technology that teaches machines to learn and think in ways that mimic human cognition. You know, just like when you read a list of 50000000 pictures + labels and you learn to categorize them through excruciating trial and error processes that sometimes end up in an electrified prod to the back and sometimes don't. Just like human cognition, and Yue is working on the vanguard of that.```

gollark: I mean, if they're yours, in most cases having physical access means you can just read off all the data, password or not.
