Cyprinodon rubrofluviatilis, known as the Red River pupfish, is a species of killifish from the United States. It is found only in the Red River and Brazos River drainages of Texas and Oklahoma,[1] It grows to a total length of 58 mm (2.3 in) and feeds on midge larvae and other insects.[2] It was first described by Henry Weed Fowler in 1916, as a subspecies of the species Cyprinodon bovinus;[3] the specific epithet rubrofluviatilis refers to the Red River.[2]
